Planning a block paving sealing job in Whitley Bay
In Whitley Bay, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Former colliery ground and clay soils occur across the North East, so the survey checks for soft spots before the sub-base depth is set.

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
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Edges, walls and doors protected
