Paving is an essential part of our homes and commercial spaces. It not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also adds to the functionality of our spaces. However, maintaining your paving is crucial to ensure its longevity and quality. Here are five tips to help you maintain your paving:

1. Regular Cleaning

Regular cleaning is the first step towards maintaining your paving. It helps to keep the surface free from dirt, stains, and algae that can cause damage over time. Use a mild detergent and a stiff brush to clean the surface. For more stubborn stains, consider using a pressure washer. Remember to check out our driveway maintenance page for more detailed information.

2. Sealing the Surface

Sealing the surface of your paving can protect it from the elements, prevent stains, and enhance its appearance. It’s recommended to seal your paving every few years. Pavelink offers a range of high-quality sealing products that can help protect your paving.

3. Addressing Repairs Promptly

If you notice any cracks or damage to your paving, it’s important to address these issues promptly. Small cracks can quickly become larger issues if left unattended. At Pavelink, we offer a repair and resealing service to existing surfaces laid with pattern imprinted concrete.

4. Avoiding Chemicals

Certain chemicals can cause damage to your paving. Avoid using de-icing salts on your paving during the winter, as they can cause surface damage. Also, be mindful of any chemicals or solvents that may spill onto the surface.

5. Hiring Professionals for Major Works

For major works or renovations, it’s best to hire professionals. They have the expertise and equipment to do the job correctly and safely. Pavelink has been providing top-quality paths, patios, and driveways for more than 10 years. Check out our work to see some of our previous projects.
