Planning a block paving sealing job in Oswestry
Around Oswestry, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Inter-war semis with narrow front gardens are common in the West Midlands, so front garden conversions and drive widenings are often the practical choice.

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