What is included?
Sealing block paving means applying a clear liquid sealer to clean, dry paving. A good sealer soaks into the blocks and the jointing sand, binding the sand so it does not wash out, reducing staining and making the surface easier to keep clean. Some sealers also deepen the colour or leave a light sheen.
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
How we find the cause
- How much joint sand is left
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Type of block and its age
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first

Sealing in Birkenhead: questions
Do you cover Liverpool, Wallasey and Bebington?
Yes. We cover Birkenhead and the places around it, including Liverpool, Wallasey and Bebington, and the rest of Merseyside.
How often should block paving in Birkenhead be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Can you seal my drive straight after cleaning?
Only once it is completely dry and re-sanded. Sealing damp paving traps moisture and can leave a white bloom.
Will cleaning damage my block paving?
Not when it is done with a rotary cleaner at medium pressure and the joints are re-sanded afterwards. High-pressure lances held close are what cause damage.
