Surface seal

Surface sealing involves spreading a protective coating across an asphalt, tarmac, concrete or resin surface.

This protects it against water penetration, UV damage, oil spills and general wear.

Sealing is commonly used on roads, car parks, driveways and paths to extend surface lifespan and maintain an attractive appearance.

Surface sealing works by applying a liquid sealant over a cleaned surface.

Once cured, it forms a protective weather-resistant barrier that prevents moisture, corrosion and wear from vehicles.

It also fills small surface pores, making cleaning and maintenance much easier.

Sealing your road or driveway:

• Extends lifespan and delays the need for resurfacing
• Reduces wear from weather, spills and vehicles
• Protects against water ingress and freeze-thaw damage
• Makes your surface look cleaner and more attractive
• Saves money over costly resurfacing or replacement

If your road, car park, driveway or footpath shows signs of fading, cracking or water pooling, speak to a trusted local surfacing contractor right away.

Early treatment prevents the damage from getting worse. So you can delay more expensive resurfacing or replacement for up to 5 years.

Surface sealing is also ideal for newly laid surfaces, as it helps protect them from the start.

This reduces long-term wear and keeps them looking spectacular, giving you greater value for your investment.

A simple seal coating costs around £3-£5 per square metre, plus the cost of labour and cleaning.

With this in mind, you can expect sealing a regular home driveway to cost around £200-£400.

Public roads with higher traffic volume generally need stronger sealing.

These can cost £4-£7 per square metre as a base price.

We can carry out most domestic or commercial sealing projects in just one or two days.

Large projects and public works generally take longer, though the specific timeline depends on the size.

In good weather, sealants typically cure within 24 hours. So motorists and pedestrians can use the surface again shortly after treatment with minimal disruption.

A professionally applied surface seal can last 3-5 years depending on traffic levels, weather exposure and maintenance.

You can significantly extend this by combining a quality seal with surface dressing for maximum preventative care.
