Frequently Asked Questions
How long does driveway sealant last?
The lifespan depends on the type of surface, the sealant used and the amount of vehicle traffic. Many sealants provide protection for several years before reapplication is recommended.
Can every driveway be sealed?
No. Some surfaces are better suited to sealing than others. We assess each driveway individually and recommend the most appropriate solution.
Will sealing make my driveway slippery?
Modern sealants are designed for external use. Where appropriate, products with enhanced slip resistance can be used, although care should always be taken in wet or icy conditions.
Do I need to clean my driveway before sealing?
Yes. Proper cleaning is essential to ensure the sealant bonds correctly and provides long-lasting protection.
Can sealing prevent weeds?
Sealing can help reduce weed growth in block paving joints by stabilising the jointing sand, although no treatment can completely prevent airborne seeds from germinating.
How long before I can use my driveway after sealing?
Drying and curing times vary depending on the product used and weather conditions. We'll provide clear guidance before completing the work.
Will sealing change the appearance of my driveway?
Many sealants enhance the natural colour of the surface, while others provide a more subtle protective finish. We'll discuss the available options with you before work begins.
Do you offer free quotations?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation surveys and quotations for driveway sealing throughout Salford.
