Block paving sealing in Taunton: what to expect
Taunton is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
The South West is wetter than the east of England, so falls and drainage are planned before the pattern is chosen.

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.
