What are the benefits of using block paving sealer on my driveway or patio?
Smartseal block paving sealer will harden the sand between the joints of the pavers and help prevent weeds growing in the previously soft sand. The block paving sealer will also enhance the colours of the block paving and help prevent colour loss from prolonged exposure to sunlight. The block paving sealer will also make removal of oil stains much easier.

Once the block paving sealer has been applied, will it be easier to remove oil and grease stains?
The block paving sealer will make it easier to remove oil stains as the oil will initially sit on the surface. A detergent based remover should be able to remove most of the oil if it is done quickly, or in cases of larger oil spills we would suggest using our oil remover for block paving.

Can you recommend any particular type of pressure washer?
