Driveway Clean & Seal

Hucknall, Nottingham

Swipe

A great summer project that we loved working on this year, was this driveway clean and seal in Hucknall, Nottingham.

Driveway Preperation

The driveway had been freshly laid a few months prior to the clean and seal, so all we had to do was a quick pressure wash to rid all the dust and dirt and then leave it for three days to dry out before we applied the magic, sorry I mean sealant.

Driveway Sealant Application

Once we knew the clean driveway was in perfect condition for sealing we set about with application. This process isn’t something you can rush. It takes time and effort (and patience when you have the British weather) to ensure you have the best end result possible.

Anti-Slip Smartseal

We use a brand called Smartseal, and this particular sealant we used is specifically for pressed concrete with added anti slip formula. The sealant is brushed on to the clean driveway to give an even coverage over the whole driveway. It’s left for 2 hours to set and then we repeat the process again. The driveway must be left and not touched for at least 8 hours (preferably overnight) for best results.

Finished Results

The end result was fantastic and it really was a stand back and admire the view moment for us.
Not only does this new driveway clean and seal look really appealing to the eye, this sealant treatment protects the driveway from all weather conditions, it stops regrowth of lichens, moss and algae and protects the surface of the driveway until it’s time to reseal again Which will be around 3-4 years time depending on wear and tear of the surface.

Summary of driveway clean and seal:

• Pressure wash
• Left for 3 days to dry
• Application of sealant (coat 1)
• Application of sealant (coat 2)
