A block paving sealer lowers the water uptake of the concrete. Water, grease and road salt penetrate more slowly, so soiling stays on the surface and washes off instead of working into the block.

The choice comes down to two decisions. First: whether the paving keeps its colour (an invisible sealer), deepens it (a wet look), or takes a new one (a colour sealer). Second: the base - water-based is easier to work with and less unpleasant to be around, solvent-based penetrates dense, low-absorbency concrete more deeply.

What a sealer will not do: it will not bind loose blocks, will not rebuild a washed-out joint and will not remove efflorescence that is already there. It fixes the state it finds - which is why cleaning and repair come before sealing, not after.

The usual reason a sealing job fails is not the product but the substrate. A sealer will not bond to a surface with grease, lime efflorescence or an old coating on it.

  1. Wash the paving. Lift oil stains with a degreasing cleaner - water alone, even under pressure, will not shift them.
  2. Remove lime efflorescence with a product made for it, not with hydrochloric acid from the builders' merchant.
  3. Make good the joints and let them set. Sealer applied over an empty joint runs straight into the sub-base.
  4. Wait until the paving is dry all the way through, not just on top. Moisture trapped under the film can bloom it white.
  5. Check the forecast. Rain within a day of application will wash off a fresh coat.

New paving has to season first - usually around 28 days from the date the block was made. You will find the exact time for each product in its technical data.

Before sealing the whole area, test on a patch hidden by a planter or in a corner of the patio. The same product can read differently on two batches of the same material, and on a surface with old coating left on it, it will not bond at all.

Will the sealer change the colour of my paving?

Only if you want it to. An invisible product leaves the colour alone, a wet-look sealer deepens it permanently, and a colour sealer gives it a new shade.

How do I know when to seal again?

By how the water behaves. While it still beads on the surface, the treatment is working. Once water starts soaking in and dark patches return after rain, the protection has worn out.

Can I apply sealer to wet paving?

No. Water occupies the pores the product is meant to enter, and stays trapped under the film. The result is often a milky bloom that cannot be removed without stripping the coat. The exceptions are the few products that tolerate slight surface dampness.

Will sealing make the paving slippery?

Not if you choose a penetrating product - it forms no film on the surface and does not change its grip. If the surface is already slippery, choose an anti-slip treatment rather than a sealer.

How much will you need?

Consumption depends on how absorbent the surface is and how you apply the product.
