Planning a block paving sealing job in Southport
Southport has a big mix of housing, from older terraces near the centre to newer estates further out, so no two drives here start from the same ground.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

What does a block paving sealing job involve?
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.
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
