is sealing your driveway or patio a good idea? the honest pros & cons

At DMS we often get asked about sealing, and is it worth it after a pressure wash. The truth is, sealing has clear benefits, but it's not always essential for everyone. Here's a honest breakdown to help you decide what's right for your property.

The Pros Of Sealing


  • Protects The Surface - Provides a barrier against stains, moisture and UV damage.

  • helps to keep weeds at bay - Especially on block paving.

  • Enhances appearance - Colour boost and "like new" finish.

  • Saves money long-term - Less frequent deep cleans needed.


The Cons Of Sealing


  • Upfront cost - Adds to the price after cleaning.

  • Ongoing maintenance - Needs re-applying every 2-4 years.

  • Slippery when wet - If the wrong product is used.

  • Not always essential - Some customers are just happy with the results of the clean.


So, is sealing your driveway or patio worth it? Our honest view


Sealing is not a must-have for everyone, but when done correctly with the right product, it's a smart investment - especially for block paving. It keeps driveways and patios looking

fresher for longer and needs only, and less frequently, a light pressure wash for surface dirt.
