Block paving cleaned, joints filled, and sealed with quality sealant. Brings back the colour, protects against stains and weeds, makes future cleaning easy. Lasts for years when done properly.
### Make Your Paving Look New Again
Tired, faded block paving? Oil stains, weeds, and weathered colour? **Sealing transforms it** - but only if the prep work's done properly first.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Cheap sealing jobs skip the cleaning and joint filling stages. The sealant looks milky, peels off, and fails within a year. Proper prep is 70% of the work - but it's what makes the job last.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Deep Clean I pressure wash the entire area, kill any weeds, treat oil stains or algae. This stage is critical - sealing over dirty paving locks the dirt in forever. ### Step 2: Dry & Prep Let it dry completely (24-48 hours, weather-dependent). Then fill all joints with kiln-dried sand - sealant needs the joints full or it soaks down into them and looks patchy. ### Step 3: Apply Sealant Two coats of quality sealant applied with roller or sprayer. Even coverage, no puddles, no missed bits. Weather needs to be dry for at least 24 hours after - I won't seal if rain's forecast.

Good to Know
> 🌤️ **Weather matters massively.** I need 24 hours of dry weather before sealing (for drying) and 24 hours after (for curing). If rain's forecast, I'll postpone - trying to beat the weather ruins the job. **Gloss or matt finish?** Your choice. Gloss looks wet (more dramatic colour enhancement), matt looks natural. I'll show you photos of both so you can decide what suits your property. **Resealing later?** Block paving should be resealed every 3-5 years depending on traffic. When water stops beading on the surface and starts soaking in, it's time. Much easier second time around - just clean and reseal, less prep needed.
Frequently Asked Questions about Block paving sealing in Teignmouth
What does sealing block paving actually do?
It creates a protective layer that stops oil stains soaking in, prevents weeds growing in joints, and enhances the colour so it looks fresher. Good quality sealant also makes cleaning easier - dirt sits on the surface instead of staining the blocks. Lasts 3-5 years depending on traffic.
Does my paving need cleaning first?
Absolutely - sealing over dirt, algae, or oil stains just locks them in permanently. I pressure wash the whole area, treat any stubborn stains, let it dry completely (usually 24-48 hours), then seal. Trying to skip that step ruins the finish and wastes your money.
Can you seal my old faded block paving?
Yes - that's when sealing makes the biggest visual difference. Old, tired paving comes back to life with a good clean and seal. The sealant deepens the colour and makes it look much fresher. Won't make it brand new, but it's the next best thing to replacing it.
How long until I can use the driveway after sealing?
Usually 24 hours for foot traffic, 48 hours before driving on it. Weather-dependent though - needs to be dry. I'll tell you exactly when it's safe based on what the conditions are like. Rushing it ruins the finish.
Do I need to supply the sealant?
No - I'll bring quality sealant suitable for your paving type and use. Gloss or matt finish is your choice. Using cheap sealant is a false economy - it looks milky, peels off, and you're doing it again in a year. I use stuff that actually lasts.
