Sealing Block Paving Nottingham
Clean And Sealing Block Paving
Our sealing block paving services provide an effective and lasting solution to protect and enhance the aesthetic appeal of your paved surfaces. We utilise high-quality sealants that aid in preventing weed growth, reducing stain absorption, and maintaining the color vibrancy of your block paving. With our professional application, your paved surfaces will not only display a refurbished appearance but also gain an extended lifespan, resulting in long-term cost savings.
Importance of Sealing Your Block Paving
The significance of sealing in maintaining the aesthetic and functional integrity of paving blocks cannot be overstated. Sealing acts as a barrier, safeguarding the paving blocks against external elements such as UV rays, moisture, oil, and other stain-inducing materials. This protective layer aids in preserving the original color and prevents fading caused by exposure to sunlight. Moreover, it minimises the accumulation of moss, algae, and weeds, which can compromise the structural integrity of the paving over time. By sealing the paving blocks, we help maintain their aesthetic appeal and durability, ensuring that your outdoor spaces continue to look their best and serve their function effectively for numerous years.
Our Block Paving Sealing Service
Our sealing block paving sealing service is comprehensive and carefully tailored to meet the specific characteristics of each paving surface. Beginning with a thorough cleaning to remove any dirt or debris, we prepare the surface for the application of the sealant. Next, we apply a high-quality sealant designed to enhance the color vibrancy and protect against external damaging elements. The sealant is evenly spread across the surface, penetrating the block paving to provide a durable and long-lasting protective layer. The result is a visually appealing and well-protected paved surface, maintaining its structural integrity and appearance over time. We recommend periodic resealing to ensure ongoing protection and to keep your paving looking its best.

Impact of Not-Sealing Your Block Paving
Unsealed paving blocks can experience a variety of detriments over time. Without a protective sealant layer, the paving blocks are left exposed to harsh weather conditions, UV rays, and staining materials, leading to fading colours, unsightly stains, and damage to the surface. Furthermore, gaps between the blocks can encourage the growth of weeds, moss, and algae, which can disrupt the stability of the paving. Over time, these issues can lead to an unattractive appearance and potential structural damage. Therefore, the absence of a sealant not only compromises the aesthetic appeal of the paving blocks but also their functional integrity, potentially leading to increased maintenance costs over time. In contrast, a professionally sealed block paving can effectively counteract these issues, preserving both the beauty and durability of your outdoor spaces.
Our Sealing Process
Pre-Sealing Preparation: Cleaning and Repairing the Paving Blocks
Before the application of the sealant, it’s essential to clean and repair the paving blocks thoroughly to ensure the best possible outcome. The cleaning process begins with the removal of any loose dirt, debris, and weeds that might be present between the blocks. We then apply a professional-grade cleaning solution to tackle any stubborn stains or moss. For paving blocks that show signs of damage or wear, our team conducts necessary repairs. This may include fixing loose or chipped blocks and filling any gaps to ensure a smooth, even surface.
This thorough preparation not only promotes better adhesion of the sealant but also enhances the overall finish, ensuring your paved surface is given the best start ahead of the sealing process.
Application of the Sealant: Coverage, Drying Times, and Weather Considerations
Once the paving blocks are thoroughly cleaned and repaired, we proceed with the application of the sealant. Our team precisely spreads the sealant to ensure even coverage across the entire surface, taking care to avoid pooling or over-application, which can detrimentally affect the finish. The drying time for the sealant can vary depending on the specific product used, but it generally takes between 2 to 4 hours to dry to the touch, and a further 24 to 48 hours to fully cure. It’s crucial that the sealant is given ample time to dry without disturbance to achieve the best results. As such, we recommend keeping foot and vehicle traffic off the sealed surface until the sealant is completely dry. Weather conditions also play a significant role in the sealing process. Ideally, the application of the sealant should be done during dry weather conditions with temperatures ranging between 10°C and 30°C. Damp or excessively hot conditions can interfere with the efficacy of the sealant, potentially impacting the overall finish. Therefore, we closely monitor the weather and choose the most appropriate time for the sealing process to ensure optimal results.
After-Sealing Care: Instructions for Maintaining the Sealed Surface
After the sealing process is complete, sustaining the look and durability of your block paving involves regular maintenance and care. To start, it’s recommended to avoid any heavy traffic on the surface for a minimum of 48 hours to allow the sealant to cure completely. For general upkeep, regularly sweep the surface to remove any loose dirt or debris. This not only retains the appearance of the paving but also prevents the accumulation of moss or weeds. In case of stains, act promptly. Remove oil spills and other harsh substances using a cleaning solution specifically designed for sealed block paving to avoid damaging the sealant. Try to avoid the use of de-icing salts on the sealed surface, as they can be corrosive and cause damage. Instead, use sand for traction during icy conditions. Finally, consider a professional re-sealing every few years to replenish the protective layer and keep your paving looking its best. Remember, regular maintenance not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your block paving but also extends its lifespan, ensuring a vibrant and functional outdoor space for years to come.

Benefits of Sealing Block Paving
Enhanced durability and resistance to wear and tear
Sealing block paving significantly enhances its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The sealant acts as a protective barrier, shielding the paving blocks from the detrimental effects of weather, traffic, and staining substances. By doing so, it prevents erosion, maintains color vibrancy, and reduces the likelihood of surface damage such as chips or cracks. Furthermore, sealed paving is more resilient to the growth of weeds, moss, and algae, thereby maintaining the stability of the paving structure. Consequently, sealed block paving often requires less maintenance and has a longer lifespan compared to
unsealed paving, making it a cost-effective solution for preserving the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your outdoor spaces.
Improved Appearance and Colour Retention
One of the most noticeable benefits of sealing block paving is the enhancement in the overall appearance and the retention of the original colour. The sealant adds a subtle sheen to the paving blocks that accentuates their colour and texture, giving your paving a refreshed and well-maintained look. Furthermore, the sealant acts as a barrier against harmful UV rays which can cause fading over time, thus effectively preserving the vibrant colour of the paving blocks. This aspect is particularly beneficial for coloured or patterned block paving where colour contrast is an essential part of the design. Therefore, by improving the appearance and colour retention, sealing not only revitalises your paving but also maintains its aesthetic appeal in the long term.
Protection Against Stains, Oil, and Moss Growth
The protective layer formed by the sealant on the block paving provides a significant safeguard against various types of stains, oil spills, and moss growth. Due to its non-porous nature, the sealant prevents substances like oil or grime from seeping into the paving blocks. This ensures any spills can be quickly and easily cleaned up, thus maintaining the clean appearance of your paving. Furthermore, the sealant inhibits the growth of moss, algae, and weeds, which can cause unsightly staining and potentially disrupt the structure of the paving. Thus, by offering protection against stains, oil, and moss growth, sealing block paving helps in preserving the cleanliness, aesthetics, and structural integrity of your outdoor spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Block Paving Services
What is the lifespan of the sealant on the block paving?
The lifespan of the sealant on block paving can vary significantly depending on a number of factors. These include the type and quality of the sealant used, the local weather conditions, and the level of traffic the paving is subjected to. However, as a general guideline, a high-quality sealant applied by a professional can last between 3 to 5 years. It’s important to note that proper maintenance practices, such as regular cleaning and prompt removal of stains, can further extend the lifespan of the sealant. Regardless, we recommend a periodic inspection and re-sealing as needed to maintain the appearance and durability of your block paving.
How long does the sealing process take?
The duration of the sealing process can vary depending on several factors such as the size of the area, the condition of the paving, and the weather conditions. Generally, for an average-sized driveway, it can take a day for cleaning and preparation, followed by another day for the sealing process. However, it’s important to note that the sealant needs adequate drying time before the area can be used again, typically around 24 hours in optimal weather conditions. Therefore, while the actual work might be completed in two days, you should plan for an additional day for drying.
Does your service include cleaning the paving prior to sealing?
Yes, we will always advise our clients to includes a thorough cleaning of the paving prior to sealing. It’s crucial to remove any dirt, moss, or stains to ensure the sealant adheres properly and provides optimal protection.

What measures do you take to protect the surrounding areas during the sealing process?
We take definite measures to protect the surrounding areas during the sealing process. Prior to starting the job, we carefully cover adjacent structures and surfaces with protective sheets to prevent any inadvertent splashing or spills of the sealant. This includes walls, fences, doorways, plants, and any other features close to the work area. We also use precision application tools and techniques to confine the sealant to the block paving itself, minimizing the chance of any overspill. After the job is completed, we make sure to leave the area clean and tidy, removing all protective coverings and any residual materials. Our approach ensures both the quality of the sealing job and the preservation of your property’s aesthetics.
Can I choose the type of finish of the sealant?
