What is included?
Sealing only works on paving that has been cleaned and re-sanded first and is completely dry, so it is usually part of a clean, re-sand and seal package. It is not permanent: most sealers need renewing every three to seven years as they wear in the wheel tracks, and new paving should be left for a few months before sealing so moisture and any white efflorescence can clear.
Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
How we find the cause
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

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