Driveway Sealing
Once a driveway has been professionally cleaned, sealing may be a useful next step for suitable surfaces. The right sealer can help protect against certain forms of staining and weather-related wear while enhancing the appearance of the paving.
About This Service
A Better Finish, with Protection to Match
A freshly cleaned driveway can make your property look noticeably smarter. For suitable surfaces, driveway sealing can help maintain that improved appearance and provide an additional layer of protection against certain everyday contaminants and staining.
At Dirty Driveways Hull, we offer driveway sealing as part of our exterior cleaning services. As a Smartseal accredited installer, we have undertaken relevant training and can help homeowners understand whether sealing is suitable for their particular driveway.
Choosing the Right Smartseal Treatment
Smartseal provides different products for different driveway materials. Block paving sealers can help protect suitable paving and stabilise prepared jointing sand, while Tarmaseal is designed to refresh faded tarmac.
These treatments are not interchangeable. The appropriate product depends on your driveway’s material, condition, previous coatings and the finish you want to achieve.
Preparation is essential. The surface must be suitably cleaned and dry, with any necessary joint preparation or repairs addressed before treatment. We assess these requirements before recommending a sealing option.

Smartseal Accredited Installer
Benefit from an installer who has undertaken Smartseal-related training and accreditation.
Driveway sealing can be a valuable addition to exterior maintenance, but the results depend on choosing the right product and preparing the surface correctly. Different driveway materials absorb sealers differently, and not every surface is suitable for every treatment.
Before applying a product, we assess the driveway and consider its material, condition and preparation requirements. The surface must be cleaned and sufficiently dry, and the chosen product must be appropriate for the paving. We also explain that sealing is not a guarantee against all staining, wear or future maintenance.
We take pride in providing straightforward advice and careful workmanship. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision, complete the agreed work to a good standard and leave the property tidy.

The driveway is cleaned and prepared as required. The surface must be sufficiently dry and suitable for the selected sealer before application.
