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.
Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.
- 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
How we find the cause
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
