Pressure cleaning concrete and paved surfaces is an effective way to remove dirt and grime from driveways, patios, or pathways.
It can restore the original appearance of the concrete and make it look new again. However, After pressure washing, it is important to seal the surface of your driveway to prevent water from seeping into cracks and causing damage especially when winter causes this water to freeze and expand - it is this process that leads to potholes on roads.
Sealing brick, stone or cement surfaces can also prevent discoloration from staining the surface.
To revive and protect your driveways simply contact Jimmy's External Cleaning Services today.
Before applying sealer to imprinted concrete after power washing, we ensure that the concrete is completely dry to prevent any moisture issues. It is important to wait for at least twenty-four hours or longer, depending on factors such as humidity levels and the thickness of the concrete before application.
We will need to co-ordinate this with the weather as ideally mid-morning is best to apply the sealer before the sun is directly overhead. We apply the sealer evenly using a medium-nap roller or rubber blade, making sure to cover all pores and gaps in the concrete. Use brushes to carefully seal the edges of the driveway to prevent sealer from spreading to unwanted areas. We then apply a second coat for additional protection, overlapping roller strokes to ensure thorough coverage. As sealants have strong chemicals in them we follow strict protocol to ensure safety during application.
Re-sanding block paving comes with numerous benefits and reasons, primarily to enhance the durability and appearance of the paved surface. By re-sanding, the blocks are securely held in place, preventing shifting or sinking over time. This helps to maintain a level and stable surface for walking or driving.
Additionally, re-sanding can also improve the overall aesthetics of your block paving by filling in any gaps, cracks, and preventing weeds reappearing over time. Ultimately, re-sanding block paving can prolong the life of the paved area and provide a fresh and renewed look.
Following re-sanding we would also advise sealing the block paving too. This will provide a hard top surface to both your paving and sand which will inhibit weeds and enhance the colour of your block paving.
Our block paving sealing service is available in both a matt and silk finish and is also available with colour options which can revive faded pavers.
