Block paving sealing in Blyth: what to expect
In Blyth, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.

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.

Sealing in Blyth: questions
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.
How often should block paving in Blyth be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
