Planning a block paving sealing job in Shrewsbury
Across Shrewsbury, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.
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 does a block paving sealing job involve?
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.
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
