Why seal your paving

Protect it, or restore its colour

Sealing goes onto paving that has just been cleaned. Depending on the surface, it protects the colour you have or brings back the colour it has lost.

Protective sealing

Cleaner for longer

For block paving and patios. The sealer helps bind the joint sand, resist oil and other stains, and slow weeds, moss and algae coming back.

The one to choose when you like the colour of your paving and want it to stay clean.

Colour restoration

Faded colour brought back

For imprinted concrete and tarmac that have faded or turned patchy. Old, failing sealer is removed, then the surface is restored and sealed to an even colour again.

More about colour change and restoration

Not every surface suits every treatment. Every driveway and patio is assessed first, and the office will tell you which option suits yours.

Worth knowing
Cleaning first
Sealer goes onto clean, dry paving, so sealing is always quoted with a clean.
Weather
Sealing needs dry weather, so the office plans the work around the forecast.
Keeping off it
The surface needs time to cure before it is walked or driven on. The office will tell you how long.
Your quote
Every surface is quoted individually, on its size, condition and the finish you choose.

Colour change & restoration

Bring the colour back, or change it

Imprinted concrete and tarmac fade and turn patchy as the old sealer wears. After a deep clean and preparation, the surface can be restored to an even colour, or given a new one, then sealed to protect it. Available for homes and for commercial driveways and forecourts.

  • Colour restorationFaded or patchy surfaces brought back to an even colour close to the original.
  • Colour changeA new colour for imprinted concrete, from a wide range of tints, to suit a renovation. Tarmac is restored to a rich, even black.
  • Homes and businessesDriveways, forecourts and commercial paving.

How sealing works

Clean, prepare, then seal

A sealer is only as good as the surface beneath it, so most of the work happens before any sealer goes on.

  1. A deep clean

    Moss, weeds, algae and dirt are lifted from the surface and the joints, and the paving is left to dry.

    Cleaned firstDriveway part-way through cleaning, dark moss-covered blocks still wet
  2. Preparation

    The surface is prepared to suit what it’s made of: joints re-sanded where they need it, and any old or failing sealer removed, so the new sealer bonds properly.

  3. The sealer goes on

    Once the paving is dry, the sealer is applied evenly across the surface, then left to cure.

Quick response - did an excellent job for an excellent price. No hassle - turned up when I was at work, dropped the invoice through the letterbox. What more could you want? I'd had real trouble trying to find someone to clean my windows and frames - despite local tradespersons dropping business cards through my door over the years, not one of them bothered to even reply - TLC responded with a quote next working day. Full credit to them.

TLC window cleaning was one of only a few companies that got back to me about an end of tenancy cleaning (and I contacted about 15 separate companies). Their communication was fantastic and they tried to go the extra mile to help me within the needed timeline. Thank you for your customer service!

Just get the thing done that you've been putting off! It was super easy to book, knock out multiple services, and a great job done by Perry. Wish I would have done it sooner. Would recommend to others.

Call 0800 058 8700

What does driveway sealing do?

A sealer helps bind the joint sand in block paving, resist stains and slow weeds, moss and algae coming back, so cleaned paving stays cleaner for longer.

Do you clean the driveway before sealing?

Yes. Sealer goes onto clean, dry paving, so sealing is always quoted with a clean.

More about driveway cleaning

Can you re-seal imprinted concrete?

Yes, where it suits the surface. Old sealer that is flaking or patchy is removed first, then the concrete is re-sealed to bring back its colour and sheen.

Can you restore a faded tarmac driveway?

Yes. Faded, grey tarmac can be cleaned and restored to an even black. The office will advise whether it suits your driveway.

Can my patio be sealed?

Often, yes. It depends on the stone and its condition, and the office will tell you whether sealing suits yours.

More about patio cleaning

Can you change the colour of my driveway?

Often, yes. Imprinted concrete can be restored to an even colour or changed to a new one from a wide range of tints, and faded tarmac restored to an even black, for homes and businesses. The office will tell you what suits your surface.

How long before I can use the driveway again?

The sealer needs time to cure, and that depends on the product and the weather. The office will tell you how long to keep off it.

How much does driveway sealing cost in Ipswich?

Every surface is quoted individually. The price depends on the size, the surface, its condition and the finish you choose.

No questions match. Call the office on 0800 058 8700 and we’ll help.
