Driveway and Pavement Sealing

An unsealed driveway or paved surface absorbs oil, water, and contamination directly — leading to staining, UV fading, and eventually structural deterioration as moisture works into the substrate.

A professionally sealed surface is significantly easier to maintain, more resistant to staining, and far longer-lasting. The driveway is often the first thing visitors see — a clean, sealed surface makes a strong impression and protects the investment beneath it.

Sealing costs a fraction of replacing a deteriorated driveway, and with periodic cleaning, a professionally sealed surface can look like new for five years or more.

Sealing a driveway that hasn’t been properly cleaned first is one of the most common mistakes made with driveway maintenance. A sealer applied over contamination, salts, or existing failed sealer traps the problem beneath the new coating — leading to early failure, lifting, and an uneven finish.

Our process addresses the surface properly before any sealer is applied.

Existing sealer removal where required
Where a previous sealer has failed, lifted, or degraded, it needs to be removed before a new coat can be applied. We remove existing sealers by breaking down the molecular structure and extracting the sealer from deep in the surface pores — leaving a clean substrate ready for the new coating. Where an old sealer is sound and compatible with the new product, removal may not be required — our technician assesses this before work begins.

Deep cleaning and stain removal
The surface is professionally cleaned to remove all contamination — salts, efflorescence, mortar residue, oil staining, mould, algae, and general grime. Stubborn stains including oil leaks, tyre marks, and rust are treated individually before the sealing process begins. The surface must be clean and dry before any sealer is applied.

Sealer selection and application
The sealer is selected to suit the surface type, age, desired appearance, and traffic load. Options include impregnating sealers that protect without changing the surface appearance, tinted sealers that refresh or enhance the colour, and surface-coating sealers that provide a gloss or satin finish. The sealer is applied by our trained technicians to manufacturer specifications — ensuring correct coverage, even application, and maximum longevity.

Residential driveways
For homeowners, a professionally cleaned and sealed driveway dramatically improves the appearance of the property and significantly reduces future maintenance effort. Oil drips, tyre marks, tannin staining, and mould — all common driveway problems — are far easier to clean from a sealed surface and less likely to penetrate and stain permanently. For properties being prepared for sale, a driveway restoration makes an immediate and visible difference to street appeal.

Commercial car parks and entry areas
For commercial properties, sealed car park surfaces and entry pavement are easier to maintain, more resistant to oil and fuel contamination, and present a better impression to tenants, customers, and visitors. Sealing after professional cleaning as part of a planned maintenance programme extends the life of the surface and reduces the frequency and cost of future cleaning.
