Read on to discover how our clear block paving sealers and colour tinted block paving sealers can work to transform your space and keep it weed free.
WHY SEAL YOUR BLOCK PAVING WITH A BLOCK PAVING SEALER?
One of the biggest challenges of maintaining block paving is dealing with weeds growing in the gaps.
Left unchecked, these weeds can damage the structure over time. Sealing block paving with a clear block paving sealer or colour tinted block paving sealer creates a protective barrier that prevents weed seeds from germinating.
Beyond weed control, colour tinted and clear block paving sealers also:
- Protect against weathering and UV damage
- Enhance the colour and finish of your paving
REDUCE MAINTENANCE BY PREVENTING STAIN AND MOSS BUILDUP
If you're looking for a long-lasting solution, our colour tinted or clear block paving sealers are the perfect answer.

HOW TO APPLY YOUR BLOCK PAVING SEALER
Follow these simple steps to achieve flawless results:
1. Clean the Surface
Before applying the block paving sealer, Use a weedkiller on any growth and allow sufficient time to kill the roots. Remove dirt, debris, and any stains. For the best finish, thoroughly pressure-wash the surface to ensure it’s clean and ready for sealing.
2. Allow the Surface to Dry
Wait until the paving is completely dry before applying the colour tinted or clear block paving sealers. Applying to wet or damp surfaces can trap moisture, leading to a cloudy finish.
3. Apply a Jointing Sand
Sweep over kiln dried sand to fill the gaps in between the block pavers. This is important as the sealer will stabilise the sand and prevent weeds from penetrating these gaps.
4. Apply the Sealer Evenly
Use a roller or sprayer for even application of block paving sealer. Start with a thin layer and allow it to dry before adding a second coat if needed. Only apply when there is no forecast of rain for at least 8 hours.
5. Avoid Heavy Use Until Dry
Allow the sealed surface enough time to dry and cure. Drying times may vary based on weather conditions and the type of block paving sealer, so always check the product instructions for guidance.
MAINTAINING YOUR SEALED BLOCK PAVING
Once sealed, block paving becomes easier to maintain with just a few key tips:
- Sweep Regularly to prevent debris buildup and potential staining.
- Remove Stains Immediately to keep the surface looking pristine.
- Reseal Every 1–3 Years, depending on traffic and weather exposure, to maintain protection and appearance.
