Planning a block paving sealing job in East Grinstead
In East Grinstead, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.

What you get with our sealing service
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
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Second coat where the product requires it
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- How much joint sand is left
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
