Block Paving Sealing Newbridge
Sealing your block paving, driveway or patio in Newbridge puts a protective barrier over a freshly cleaned surface. It secures the jointing sand, enhances the colour and makes future cleaning easier.
An unsealed surface is absorbent. It soaks up rain, oil spills and grime, which creates the damp, dirty conditions that moss and algae thrive in. Growth can return surprisingly quickly.
Sealing is only worth doing on a properly prepared surface. Applying sealant over dirt or damp traps problems underneath, so preparation always comes first.
What our sealing service includes
- Full preparation, with the surface cleaned, treated and left to dry completely
- Re-sanding of joints with kiln-dried sand, so the sealant bonds firmly
- Sealant applied in even coats
- A choice of finish, from a simple matte look to a glossy wet-look
- Colour revived on faded blocks, slabs and natural stone
Benefits of sealing
- Helps hold the sand in the joints and slows weed growth
- Reduces how much moss, oil and grime can soak in
- Brings back depth of colour to faded paving
- Makes later cleaning quicker and simpler
Once a surface is sealed, routine cleaning often needs little more than a quick rinse rather than a full pressure wash.
Which surfaces?
Block paving, concrete slabs, imprinted concrete and natural stone can all be sealed. We will look at your surface and recommend what suits it. Tarmac drives have their own specialist finish, covered under tarmac sealing.
Before you seal
Sealing is best done after a clean and re-sand, while the surface is in good condition. We will tell you honestly if it needs a repair or re-levelling first, because sealer will not hide a fault.
Weather matters too. Sealant needs dry conditions to cure, so we plan the job around the forecast.
Sealing is not a one-size-fits-all job. A busy drive, a shaded patio and a sunny terrace all behave differently, so we match the finish and the preparation to how the surface is used.
Sealing follows cleaning. See our block paving cleaning and re-sanding.
