What is included?
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.
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- 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
Before we price your block paving sealing job
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first

Sealing in Mansfield: 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.
Do you cover Sutton-in-Ashfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Hucknall?
Yes. We cover Mansfield and the places around it, including Sutton-in-Ashfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Hucknall, and the rest of Nottinghamshire.
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 Mansfield be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
