Block paving sealing in Kirkby-in-Ashfield: what to expect
In Kirkby-in-Ashfield, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Block drives laid twenty or thirty years ago are often ready for re-laying rather than replacing, because sound blocks outlast a weak base.

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