Planning a block paving sealing job in Tipton

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.
- Edges, walls and doors protected

Sealing in Tipton: questions
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 Tipton be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Dudley, Wednesbury and West Bromwich?
Yes. We cover Tipton and the places around it, including Dudley, Wednesbury and West Bromwich, and the rest of the West Midlands.
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.
