"A driveway cleaning and sealing specialist is most suitable. They handle pressure washing, re-sanding joints, and applying sealant by sprayer correctly. Landscapers or exterior cleaning companies may also offer this service, but specialists provide better, longer-lasting results due to proper preparation, materials, and application techniques."

"While many people assume a general "paver" or "landscaper" handles this, the specific equipment required (professional-grade sprayers and high-pressure cleaning systems) means it is often treated as a specialized niche.
Primary Contacts for This Service

Driveway Maintenance/Restoration Specialists: These professionals focus exclusively on cleaning, re-sanding, and sealing. They are the most likely to own high-volume sprayers specifically calibrated for acrylic or polyurethane sealants.

External Cleaning/Pressure Washing Contractors: Many professional cleaners offer "Seal & Protect" packages. They use the sprayer method because it provides a more even, "frizz-free" finish compared to a roller, which can sometimes pull sand out of the joints.

Hardscape Contractors: Some specialized paving companies have a dedicated maintenance arm, though many smaller outfits prefer the installation side and may refer you to a specialist."

"I think it would be best done by a handyman who has experience of doing all types of different jobs."

"If you are looking for a professional to clean and seal your block paving using a sprayer, you are generally looking for a Driveway Maintenance Specialist or a Hard Landscaping Contractor.

While several trades might own a sprayer, the specific expertise required for block paving involves more than just the application; it requires understanding the prep work (re-sanding) and the chemical compatibility of the sealant."

"For the application of a spray sealant to a block paved driveway, the most appropriate tradesperson would typically be a driveway and paving specialist or a landscaping contractor with experience in hard landscaping.

These professionals regularly install, clean, re-sand, and seal block paving, and will have the correct equipment (including sprayers) and knowledge of suitable sealants to ensure an even, durable finish.

Alternatively, a pressure washing/exterior cleaning specialist may also offer sealing services, particularly if they already carry out driveway cleaning and restoration. However, it’s important to confirm they have specific experience with block paving sealants, as improper application can lead to patchiness or reduced lifespan.

Recommendation:
Look for a contractor who specifically advertises:
• Block paving installation and maintenance
• Driveway cleaning and sealing
• Use of professional-grade sealants and sprayer application

This will ensure the job is completed to a high standard with long-lasting results."

"I would suggest looking for a specific trades person that specialises in cleaning patios. Once the patio has been cleaned and dried they can apply a sealant. I hope this helps."
