Driveway Cleaning And Sealing
Block paving cleaning and sealing services provide a comprehensive solution to maintain the aesthetic appeal and longevity of your paved surfaces. Our professional service involves a thorough cleaning process to remove dirt, weeds, and moss, followed by the application of a high-quality sealant. The sealant creates a barrier against future stains and growth, enhancing the durability of the blocks and reducing the need for frequent maintenance. This comprehensive procedure not only revitalises the appearance of your paving, but also safeguards it against harsh weather conditions and wear-and-tear.
Why Block Paving Cleaning And Sealing Important?
Regular block paving cleaning and sealing yields several significant advantages. Firstly, it restores the visual appeal of your exterior spaces, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your property. Secondly, a well-maintained paved surface increases the value of your property, which is particularly beneficial if you're planning to sell. Most importantly, regular cleaning prevents the build-up of algae, moss, and weeds, which can be hazardous and lead to accidents due to slipping. The sealing process subsequently protects the paving blocks from oil, grease, and other stains, making them easier to clean in the future. Lastly, regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your block paving, saving you from costly repairs or replacements in the long run.
Benefits of Sealing Block Paving
Sealing block paving brings several noteworthy benefits that contribute to its overall functionality and longevity. It provides a protective shield which guards the paving against detrimental effects of UV rays, thus preventing colour fading and maintaining the vibrant appearance of your paving. It also repels water, an important feature that prevents block degradation and erosion from rain or other water sources. Sealing also reduces the growth of moss and weeds by sealing the gaps where they usually germinate, resulting in a cleaner and neater appearance. Furthermore, sealed block paving is more resistant to oil and stain penetration, making it easier to clean up accidental spills. Lastly, sealing enhances the structural integrity of the paved surface, preventing cracks and damages from regular usage, thus prolonging the lifespan of your block paving.

Cleaning Block Paving
Our block paving cleaning process is meticulous and thorough, aimed at restoring the original appeal of your paving. We initiate the cleaning process by sweeping the surface to remove loose debris and dirt. This is followed by a high-pressure washing technique using professional-grade equipment. This process dislodges ingrained dirt, weeds, moss, and algae from the surface and the gaps between the blocks. Any stubborn stains or grease spots are treated with a specialised cleaning solution. Once the cleaning process is complete, we allow the paving to dry thoroughly, ensuring optimal conditions for the sealing process. We take the utmost care to limit any disruptions to your daily routine and to protect surrounding areas from any potential overspray or runoff during the cleaning process. Our team ensures a thorough cleanup after the procedure, leaving your property immaculate and the block paving revitalised.
Sealing Block Paving
Our sealing procedure is a critical process that ensures the longevity and durability of your block paving. Here at our company, we follow a carefully planned and meticulous procedure for sealing your block paving. Firstly, we ensure the surface is completely dry and free from any debris. This is important as it allows the sealant to adhere properly to the surface, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
We then apply the sealant using professional-grade tools. The sealant is spread evenly across the surface, ensuring it seeps into the crevices between the blocks. This forms a robust barrier that not only enhances the appearance of your block paving but also provides a high level of protection against wear and tear. The sealant repels water and oil-based stains, prevents the growth of weeds and moss, and offers UV ray protection.
The number of coats applied depends on the condition of the paving and the level of protection required. Once the sealant application is complete, we allow it to cure for the recommended period. This ensures the sealant sets in properly, enhancing the resilience of your block paving.
Lastly, we clean up the area, removing any excess sealant and ensuring your property is left clean and tidy. Our team carries out the sealing process with minimal disruption to your daily activities, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience for you. This comprehensive sealing procedure provides you with a durable, attractive, and easy to maintain block paving that stands the test of time.

Block Paving Maintenance
There is nothing that looks better than a newly laid block paved driveway. Fresh dry kiln sand between the joints and the surface sealed to protect against the weather. It’s the first thing you see when you pull into your drive.
Unfortunately, over time the surface deteriorates, becomes dirty, covered in weeds in the sanded joints, and loss of original colour.
Block paving like everything external needs maintaining due to what the natural elements and nature throw at it.
The build-up of moss, lichen and algae can look unsightly and become hazardous and slippery when wet.

Regular Block Paving Cleaning
The solution is to get your driveway cleaned on a regular basis and keep the surface in top condition. You have paid thousands of pounds for the original paving installation, if you do not clean, treat and seal regularly the driveway may need expensive repairs in the future. It really does pay to keep up with some kind of maintenance programme of your initially expensive laid driveway.
Block Paving Weed Eradication
An initial inspection is always necessary to assess the state of the surface needing restoring. If a driveway is heavily covered and infested in moss, algae and weeds, a good soaking with our specially formulated fungicidal organic weed killer prior to the surface being cleaned.
This is sometimes completed a few weeks before or even repeated before we are happy to start the full cleaning of the drive. Rest assured that our weed killer is safe to animals, contains zero bleach, acid and we mix the soluble concentrate with water, So the solution penetrates right through into the root systems between the paving blocks killing all the unwanted vegetation.
Once all the growth on your drive has been eliminated the main hydro clean and restoration can take place. We have invested in state of the art pressure washing cleaning equipment, industrial grade, to tackle this. Many driveway cleaning companies use normal jet washes but we find this can cause a streaking effect on the surface, which is not desirable and not a good look, also it throws loose debris around and becomes messy.

Re-Sanding The Block Paving
Re-sanding the block paving is an integral part of the cleaning and sealing process. After a thorough cleaning, it's vital to replace the kiln-dried sand within the joints. This sand contributes to the stability of the block paving and helps prevent weed growth. It's applied by sweeping it into the joints and compacting it using a vibrating plate. The process is repeated until all the joints are fully filled. This step ensures the longevity of your block paving and maintains its pristine appearance. Once the sand has been replaced it's time for the sealer to be applied.
Professional Sealing
After the dry-kiln sand has been swept into the joints it is important to think about sealing the now clean driveway. The sealers we use soak into the blocks and joints and offer crucial protection to your refurbished driveway.
Weeds and vegetation growth will be drastically reduced due and the sealers we use will keep stains and marks down to a minimum on your block paving in the future. The block paving sealer protects your driveway pavers from intense UV light which causes fading to your blocks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Block Paving And Sealing
Why is block paving cleaning and sealing essential?
Block paving cleaning and sealing is essential for several reasons. Primarily, it helps maintain the aesthetic appeal of your property. Over time, block paving can accumulate dirt, weeds, moss, and stains, which can detract from its appearance. Regular cleaning ensures your paving remains pristine and attractive. Secondly, sealing provides a protective layer that prolongs the lifespan of your block paving. It prevents the growth of weeds and moss, repels water and oil-based stains, and offers UV ray protection. This helps to prevent damage caused by weathering and traffic, keeping your paving in optimal condition for longer. Lastly, regular cleaning and sealing make maintenance easier, as it prevents issues from becoming ingrained or severe. This saves both time and money in the long run, making it a worthwhile investment for any property owner.
How often should block paving be cleaned and sealed?
The frequency of block paving cleaning and sealing largely depends on the specific circumstances and conditions of your property. However, as a general guideline, it is recommended to clean block paving at least once or twice a year to maintain its aesthetic appeal and prevent the build-up of dirt, weeds, and moss. As for sealing, it's typically suggested to be done every two to three years. This can extend the lifespan of your paving, enhance its resilience against weathering, traffic, and staining, and make it easier to clean and maintain. It's always best to consult with a professional paving company like ours to assess the condition of your paving and provide tailored advice on the most appropriate cleaning and sealing schedule.
Can I clean and seal block paving myself?
While it's certainly possible to undertake block paving cleaning and sealing as a DIY task, it's important to note that it's a meticulous process that requires the right tools, materials, and expertise. Cleaning block paving involves detailed scrubbing, often with specialized cleaning solutions, and precise pressure washing, which can be difficult to execute without professional-grade tools. When it comes to sealing, the application of sealant and the knowledge of the correct drying times can be complex. Additionally, without the necessary experience, it's easy to miss spots or apply too much or too little sealant, which can negatively impact the longevity and appearance of your paving. So, while DIY is an option, hiring a professional company like ours ensures a thorough, high-quality job that extends the life and maintains the aesthetics of your block paving.
How long does the sealing process take?
The duration of the sealing process for block paving largely depends on the size and condition of the area to be sealed. However, on average, it may take anywhere from a few hours to a full day. This includes time for preparation, application of the sealant, and the necessary curing time to ensure optimal results. It's important to note that weather conditions can influence the process, as it's crucial for the surface to be dry before the sealant is applied and while it cures. Therefore, the process may take longer if weather conditions are not optimal. Despite this, our team at Nottingham Driveway Cleaning Services works diligently and efficiently to complete the task as quickly as possible, while ensuring the highest quality of work.
Will the cleaning process damage my surrounding plants or property?
The cleaning process is designed to be thorough and effective, but also safe for your property and surrounding plants. We take great care to ensure our cleaning does not cause any harm. Protective measures are put into place to shield nearby plants and property features from the cleaning process. Our team uses professional-grade equipment and eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are specifically designed to clean block paving without causing any damage. However, if you have any specific concerns, we encourage you to discuss them with us. We are always happy to accommodate any special requests or instructions to ensure your complete satisfaction.
Is the sealant used safe for the environment?
The sealant we use for block paving is specifically designed to be both effective and environmentally friendly. We understand the importance of environmental sustainability, and we are committed to using products that lower our impact on the environment. Our sealants do not contain harmful chemicals that could leach into the soil or groundwater. They are water-based, low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and safe for use around plants and wildlife. Therefore, you can be confident that our block paving sealing services not only protect and enhance your property, but also respect and safeguard the environment.
Can I use my block paving immediately after the sealing process?
It is generally recommended to avoid using your block paving immediately after the sealing process to allow for sufficient drying or curing time. Typically, this can range from a few hours up to 24 hours, depending on the specific type of sealant used and the prevailing weather conditions. Using the pavement too soon may interfere with the setting of the sealant, potentially reducing its effectiveness and lifespan. For the best results and longevity of your block paving, it’s advised to wait until the sealant has completely cured before resuming normal use. If you have specific timing concerns, our team at Nottingham Driveway Cleaning Services can provide more precise guidance based on your unique situation.
Is there any maintenance required after the sealing process?
Yes, regular maintenance is advised even after the sealing process. Despite the protective layer offered by the sealant, it is still essential to keep your block paving clean to maintain its aesthetic appeal and prolong its lifespan. Regular sweeping can keep debris off your paving, and occasional rinsing with a hose can help wash away any dirt. For stains, you may need to use a gentle detergent and brush. However, harsh chemical cleaners should be avoided as they could damage the sealant layer. For significant build-up of dirt or stains, or if you notice signs of wear and tear on the sealant, it might be time to reconsider professional cleaning and re-sealing. Always remember that while sealing reduces maintenance efforts, it doesn't eliminate them completely. Regular care is crucial to keep your block paving looking its best over the years.
