Protect & Enhance Your Block Paving with Premium Sealers
Block paving is a fantastic way to create driveways, patios and walkways that look clean, crisp and attractive. But over time, exposure to the elements, foot and vehicle traffic, weeds, oil stains and fading can degrade the look and performance of your surface. That’s where high-quality block paving sealers come in. At Slip-Not, we offer a specialist range of sealants designed to restore, protect and enhance block paved surfaces – giving you long-lasting durability, improved appearance and minimal maintenance.
Why Use a Block Paving Sealer?
Every block paved surface faces the same risks:
-
Rain, frost & UV decay – losing colour and definition.
-
Weed, moss and algae growth – making surfaces slippery and uneven.
-
Oil, grease and tyre marks – degrading surface appearance and performance.
-
Joint erosion and sand wash-out – leading to loose blocks, gaps and subsidence.
Using a good sealer does multiple things:
It locks in colour and brings out fresh, vibrant tones in your paving.
It adds a protective film that repels water, oil and dirt.
It makes the surface easier to clean and maintain, reducing the frequency of deep cleans.
It prevents sand wash-out, stabilising joints, reducing weed ingress and prolonging lifespan.
It enhances surface safety and appearance, which is especially important for driveways, walkways and commercial external areas.

Choosing the Right Sealer for Your Job
Selecting the correct sealant ensures you get best results. Consider these factors:
-
Finish: Do you want a natural matt look, a slight sheen, or high-gloss wet-look?
-
Penetration vs film forming: Some sealers soak in and bond internally; others sit on the surface and create a film seal.
-
Traffic level: For heavy vehicle use you’ll need tougher, higher-performance formulations.
-
Surface condition: If your paving is faded, stained or has joint erosion you may require a pre-clean or joint stabiliser before sealing.
-
Weather window: Apply in dry conditions, ideally above 5 °C and with no rain expected for at least 24 h.
Application Tips for Best Results
Follow these steps for a long-lasting finish:
-
Clean thoroughly – remove weeds, moss, oil stains and loose sand.
-
Repair joints / gaps – re-sand or stabilise if required.
-
Dry completely – moisture under a seal will reduce adhesion and cause blotchy results.
-
Apply evenly – use a roller, brush or low-pressure sprayer depending on product.
-
Avoid pooling – wipe excess immediately for uniform coverage.
-
Allow adequate curing time – restrict traffic until the film has hardened.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long will the sealer last?
A: Under normal UK conditions you can expect 3-5 years of protection; high traffic areas may need re-application earlier.
Q: Can I apply it myself or do I need a professional?
A: Many of our products are designed for household DIYers; however, installers or large-scale jobs may benefit from trade-grade options.
Q: What about oil stains from cars?
A: Choose a sealer with oil resistant film formation or apply a pre-treatment degreaser for best results.
Q: Does the sealer make the surface slippery?
A: No — proper joint stabilisation and correct application rid the blocks of loose sand and weeds, improving slip resistance rather than harming it.
