Block Paving Sealer SILK (Sample, 5L & 25L)
Customer Reviews
Excellent service. The 5 litre can of sealer was in my home less than 2 days after I ordered it. I was very critical about surface preparation before I started. The block paviours on my patio have been down for at least 30 years. The sealer went down easily but with a high toxic smell. Superb improvement.
Amazing product , the block paving sealer literally does what it says on the tin . The Sheen is excellent, its hard wearing and seals well, water just beads away . Expensive in comparison to others , but hey , you only get what you pay for would highly recommend
Have used this block paving sealer for years with always the same results great barrier against weeds, mould and water penetration. Have tried cheaper other companies products in small areas but dont last as long and not as durable. So always buy more than I need now. Also it does last for years. Well happy with product and company who supply.
A test was carried out on a door step with the sample of sealer I ordered . I was highly delighted with the result so then proceeded to order the 50 litres I required to do the job . The block paved drive is only 5 years old and in good condition , but the results after the whole process was amazing , I have worked with this product before but forgot just how good it is , Iam really pleased and have the piece of mind that my driveway is now protected thanks to Smartseal .
This sealer does exactly what it says on the tin. Very impressed with it. The roller makes sure it goes in all the nooks and crannies and you get an even spread. The only thing I would have liked is a bit of guidance about was the need to have gaps between the blocks so that you get a smooth finish. I resanded my drive so had a lot of sand spatter which obviously has gone hard with the sealant. Not much of a problem really but love the look of the drive after the second coat
This block paving sealer is exactly what i was looking for! If you do it properly you will get fantastic results.
Love the product. The block paving sealer was easy to use
The block paving sealer does a great job but leaves a slight smell for a couple of days after application. The ECO version of the sealer is not quite as good but is odour free.
I have used this excellent sealer previously and found it to be just what I wanted. This time i used it i found it to be the usual high standard and made a great job of my block paving
The block paving sealer is an excellent product went on easily looks really good time will tell. l will be ordering another 25ltr for the front. Very impressed customer
I usually seal my front garden once a year. This is the first time I have used smartseal. This is by far the best block paving seal I have used to date. Not only was it easy to apply, the finish is wonderful silk wet look. This is highly recommend by me now. Neighbors now asking me what I used
Followed the simple tutorial. Really happy with the results of the sealer. Block paving looks like new.
Such a easy process with great results. The tutorial videos and the advice I got from Ricky in store was really helpful so that I had the confidence to carry this project out that I had been putting off. The sealer is great quality and I know where to go when I need to touch it up next time! Thank you.
Smartseal Block Paving Sealer has done an amazing job of bringing the colour back in 15 year-old block paving and should also now help keep it that way.
Fantastic finish to my DIY patio, the sealer transforms the look of the block paving and really pleased with the results.
Used smartseal sealig product a number of times, however this was the first time we used the colour tint !!! Rang smartseal to check the measurements for a 25lt drum they explained everything for us. The results speak for themselves amazing service and amazing products will keep recommending smartseal to all our customers.
Wow was so worried about doing this job but having spoken to Tracey Vokes, Hayley Cracknell and finally Nigel Blake at smart seal who advised what materials and block paving sealer I needed and gave excellent advice I finally did it this week and I am so pleased with the result.

Excellent quality sealer. Very easy to apply and made a 25 year old patio look brand new!
Very good stuff that does what it says. I used it fir the first time a few years ago and I didn't have no weed or stain until builders carrying out renovation ruined it with cement as you can see from the before photo. With some cement remover and jet wash was now looking dull until I applied Smartseal block paving sealer silk, it's looking beautiful again. People often ask why is my drive wet, not knowing its the silk finish that deceived them. Definitely recommend this product. My neighbour loved it so much that he asks me to do his.
Fantastic service, delivery and so pleased with the outcome of the block paving sealer
Brilliant stuff, would recommend, the block paving sealer gave me the results I wanted.
The sealer does what it says it does. Good product for block paving
An excellent product. Easy to use on block paving, leaving a great silk finish. Highly recommended.
The sealer seems ideal just waiting for some dry weather. But more than happy
Fantastic product. Literally upgraded an old block paved driveway to something that looks brand new. An excellent way to upgrade at an extremely low price. Very easy to apply.
Excellent sealer, this totally finished our block paved drive off, it looks like we've had a new one put down, would highly recommend product & company.
I have used the Satin block sealer previously at which time I applied it using a roller which I found rather tedious and messy. On this latest occasion I used 4 drums x 25 Ltr of sealer for three coats on my driveway and applied using a sprayer and found it very much easier; I believe I followed the advice given by Nigel Blake rather too religiously in the first coat which is why I used more than I had anticipated however the final result met my goal and seems durable and looks great. I purchased a quality sprayer elsewhere but do make sure that it has Viton seals to cope with the product if going down that route and I recommend using the SmartSeal cleaner to ensure equipment is fit for further use.
I initially ordered wrong application product. After several emails for advice both Ricky and Andrew advised on correct sealant I needed, amount to order and application product to use. It was very easy and quick to apply and the effect is amazing, looks like a new drive! Although expensive, I think it was worth it, quick delivery, excellent advice and customer service, Thank you!
Great to be able to try a sample of sealer before committing to sealing all of my block paving. Having tried the silk version I will shortly be ordering the Matt version when the weather stabilises.
Leaves a slightly darker colour on block paving.very easy to apply with the roller kit provided by smart seal.premium product.only caution is opening and emptying a 25 l can,has a red opening at the top, didn't know first time and opened wrongly.very pleased with this sealant and have used thrice already
What a brilliant finish to my 15 year old drive I have used cheaper brands of block paving sealer on my back patio before but never got this type of finish before thanks smartseal
Read a lot of reviews before buying and was unsure it would do what it says on the tin. Very happy with the result, sealer easy to apply and the result was what it said on the tin. My colour less dull bricks were bought back to life., and when it rained the water was repelled instantly. Great product as far as Im concerned and a quick delivery. Thanks smartseal.
I ended up ordering a second 5L of this block paving sealer as I had needed more colour and assumed Id also need more sealer but in fact the first tin did the job easily with some left over. The drive looks very fresh and modern.
Excellent product. I have used many different sealers over the years and all have disappointed, but this time the outcome is perfect and hopefully long lasting.
Superb! Look no further and forget the cheaper ones available from the big shops. Ive used four different brands of sealer over the years and the block paving has never looked as good as it does today. It goes a long way and dries quick ( it is 23c today so that helped). I also asked SmartSeal Customer Support fo some advice on a Saturday night. Sunday morning there was a reply in my inbox. Great. Ive had neighbours in to look at the job and two of them are going to order Smart Seal products.
After treatment with a cleaner which got rid of many black spots. The application of Smart Seal sealer has transformed very old faded block paving to something close to how they looked when new. Having just used another brand on another area and being very disappointed with the result, the Smart Seal was cheaper, went further and looks so much better
At last I have been able to use the block paving sealer. Absolutely thrilled with the finished effect. It was much easier than I thought. did the sanding and 2 coats of sealer in 1 day. I am 70 years old and proud of myself and of Smartseal sealant. I would recommend it wholeheartedly and also the "How to" videos on Youtube. Well done Smartseal.
Was a bit unsure about this sealer on our 15 yr old patio but WOW its amazing. Ours is a york stone blue/grey stone very worn and faded, we wanted a the wet look that makes it look darker and this did it. Very happy with the result with family and friends asking where we got it from.
This is the second time I have used smartseal block paving sealant it is a very good product lasted a few years before needing resealing so used the same again delivery was very prompt
Sadly, after I cleaned my patio ready for treatment, it hasn't stopped raining, however I would say the help I received before purchasing was invaluable. I will leave a product review as soon as I am able to use the sealer.
Happy with tis product (so far - but long term suitability yet to be "tested"). I used this sealer to bring out the colour in black edging bricks and it did that. I WOULD buy again.
Excellent product. I used a spray pump to put the sealant on my drive. Very easily done, took about 30 mins. The following day it dried very well. I have yellow, red and light brown paving stones, the pattern is in a herringbone style. The colours have came out vibrant. I will probably give it a 2nd coat, but the weather has been awful just now. The sealant arrived in a drum which has a locking mechanism. Quite strong smell so would suggest wearing a mask and ensure you wear gloves. I was advised via email when my product would arrive. I have never used this vendor before, but I would have no hesitation in using them again or indeed recommending to friends and family.
Very good product. the block paving sealer is easy to apply long lasting finish. Good price and quick delivery
This sealer has absolutely transformed my new block paved drive, bringing out the colours and giving it a great shine, would highly recommend this product to anyone,you will not be disappointed, extremely easy to apply aswell,I used a spray bottle and it went down lovely
Great sealer, brought the block paving up like new. Water just beads up and leaves a lovely sheen to the paving Would recommend it without doubt
Very happy with the drive sealer for my block paving
3 x 25l tins of block paving sealer delivered ok still spending time on preparation but being held up by the damned weather !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will report back when sealer has gone down .......
Fantastic service, delivery and so pleased with the outcome of applying the block paving sealer
The before image was last year. The section of concrete drive on the photo is approx 18yrs old. I tend to use the silk sealant every two years. Its definitely worth it. We are very happy with this product
I usually seal the block paving in my front garden once a year. This is the first time I have used smartseal. This is by far the best seal I have used to date. Not only was it easy to apply, the sealer finish is wonderful, silk wet look. This is highly recommend by me now. Neighbours now asking me what I used.
Used Smartseal block paving sealer on my drive with great results. It has been a very long lasting finish ,once sealed it has looked new for at least 2 years.
Fantastic product have used this block paving sealer before and will continue to use this product. It last forever and everyone compliments on how good the garden looks.
Superb product. Has brought our 12 year old block paved drive back to life. As with everything good prep is key. Studied the videos and instructions beforehand. Application with the professional roller kit, which was also purchased from the company, was easier than I expected. Little unclear about cleaning tools on completion and I seemed to use slightly more sealer than estimated, but really impressed with the final result. Will look forward to doing the back patio with the same silk finish.
I've been using Smartseal products for over 10 years. I've never left a review, sadly, so I would just like to say that their products have never ceased but to amaze me. Always a WOW!
Great product, easy to apply to block paving with the roller, sealer becomes very sticky very quickly so a bit like painting with super glue but did the job and looks great
Five star
Good stuff, does the job. Doesnt seem to last as long as it used to though?
Great service excellent block paving sealer Easy instructions applied with roller Excellent results very pleased
So easy to use
Great product.I've used most other makes of block paving sealer over the years but this one is the best domestic sealer I've used so far. Excellent results.
I have three distinct areas of block paving to cover and, so far I have done two of them, (leaving the biggest of the three to see how the first two went) Well, I can't now wait to get the three car drive done now! the other two areas are stunning. The product goes on so easily (just like the video!) and the results are great. An excellent product
This is the first time I have used this product, imo best sealant that I have ever used, excellent, my block paved drive looks really good, have been comments, easy to roll on, will use it again when required.
Great product leaves block paving with a nice wet look and people commenting how good it now looks

Excellent block paving sealer, very pleased with purchase.
Great stuff, sealer does what it says on the tin. I would have liked to have had a bit more, as i ran out doing an average size driveway, so a minimum of 10 ltr should be your minimum order.
Used this block paving sealer for the second time last week , does as it says on the can , would highly recommend it to any body, delivery on day promised.
Used this product yesterday, I applied it with a roller as recommended. The product was easy to apply and the result is first class.

"Block Paving Sealer in SILK" I have had my block paving drive for about 20 years, I reseal it about every other year or so. Over the years I have purchased some rubbish sealer from the internet, you never what it is like until you start to apply it. This sealer is excellent, I had one problem (not their fault) and this company were very helpful in sorting it out. I gave my drive a good power wash, when it was completely dry I gave it two coats of sealer. The finish is brilliant, unlike some of the cheaper sealers out there, I would recommend this sealer and company. P. S. The delivery was also quick.
very satisfied with the seal i purchased for my drive [this is the secound 25 ltr tin G Woolston
This is the second time I have used SmartSeal, my drive was laid about 12 years ago. I initially used another brand. I am obviously pleased with SmartSeal. The type I used was for block paving in Silk. Plenty of people have commented on how good the drive looks.
I don't have a large area and after following the provided instructions for preparation, I found application with a roller to be easy . The result is a new look to my block paving. An excellent product.
Great product........Videos most helpful in ensuring an excellent finish. Price is very reasonable too.
Brilliant product only ever use Smartseal prod. Customer service is very good to and super quick delivery.
Very good product. Used before also.
Great product. We followed the instructions and the driveway looks like new after 7 years. We would recommend this to everybody
very good product ,a bit uncertain which to buy as there are several sealing products of this type, this has turned out very well and are very pleased with final finish, very helpful videos and advice from this company and would certainly try more of their products,
Have used this product for many years. Like all paints and sealants the hard work is in the preparation. Application by sprayer is simple and gives great results lasting results if you apply two good coats.
Two coats and my old block paving looks new again. Easy to apply (sprayed) fantastic result.
Thank you SmartSeal for a great product and for the ready help both by phone and video to guide me through the process. On the advice of my contractor, I had left my new block paving for a year to ensure that any efflorescence had washed out. My drive slopes down towards the house quite steeply and the main, but not unexpected, problem was that sand between the blocks was washing out and blocking the drain outside the front door in heavy rain. I manged to get the block paving sealer on at the end of last month in one of the few dry periods. Since then it has been well and truly tested and the sealer has solved this problem completely. At just over 200m2, this was quite a big project and I must confess to having been a little apprehensive about taking it on myself but, with all your help and guidance, I need not have worried. Given the size of the task, the sprayer was also a very worthwhile investment. We are delighted with the result which not only leaves the drains clear, but looks stunning as well. As an added advantage, the ants have also given up their excavations!
This product is excellent my block paving is over 20 years old and it looks like new
Gave my drive a new lease of life applied two coats very easily with a Roller judging by the way rain now forms tiny puddles it's obviously sealed wel.
Very pleased. Gave a lovely finish
REALLY PLEASED WITH THE RESULT OLD DRIVE NOW LOOKS LIKE NEW
Very good product
Excellent product. Brilliant customer service. Prompt delivery. Highly recommended sealing product for block paving and supplier.

Does just what it says on the tin, very happy with this sealer for my block paving, I would recommend it fully!
Arrived very fast and did a great job on sealing my block drive,
Wonderful product for sealing our block paving and great service. Highly recommended
I have been using Smart Seal block paving sealer and patio sealer at my own property for Four years. Every spring I reseal my drive and flags. After doing so it all looks like it was laid yesterday! Great product and good advice ! I wont go anywhere else!
Very pleased with purchase of block paving sealer. Followed detailed guide on site to prepare and applied with pressure sprayer. Simple and fast application.
This is the first time I have used this product and I am very impressed. I 2 coated a recently installed Brett Beta driveway and it looks superb with the colour enhancing. The sandstone sealer is also of the highest quality.
Just did my annual reseal of drive, every time I do it I am freshly reminded of how brilliant this product is!! Thank you.
We used this on our new drive a few years ago and it looked great. Had an accident recently with petrol spillage which stripped some of our drive, it looked awful! Found a left over tub of this and cleaned and resealed it, cannot believe how fantastic it looks again! Would highly recommend this product!
Driveway now looks new again, will keep up the re-application in future
What a difference the drive looks brand new excellent service and product would recommend to anyone with confidence. Dont bother with the others get this stuff it really is that good
excellent service and product would recommend to anyone with confidence
I am delighted with the result.My 12 year old drive is now back to new after cleaning and applying two coats. I am now about to purchase another 25 litre for a spring coating to keep it looking like new
Order for block paving sealer arrived on time top quality, it does what it says on the tin ,
Excellent product. Easy to apply and makes the driveway look like new.
Great product, prompt delivery and excellent service. Recommended. A+++
Very good product and brings up the look of the drive very nicely. Next time I would use a roller, I used the sprayer and even though it was from Smartseal it was quite 'gloopy' coming out of the nozzle due to the viscosity of the sealer. Other than that no complaints and also very good service from Smartseal.
Excellent product, 1st class service and delivery, highly recommended.
Just sealed my drive whilst the weather has given me the opportunity. Must say that I am very impressed with the result as the drive looks first class & is as good new. Would definitely recommend the product. I would like to mention that I was very impressed to receive the product within 24 hours of ordering considering I did not ask for a special delivery!! Once again many thanks.
Brand new block paving to my drive, sadly the night the guys finished laying the paving we had a massive thunder and rain storm through the night resulting in efflorescence on most of the paving bricks, used Smartseal Efflorescence Cleaner with excellent results, I did have to re-apply one area but that was fine afterwards. Sealed the paving after a suitable period, I found using a watering can (disposable) and a roller the best option, the Smartseal video is a bit miss leading seeing the guy use a squeegee (I bought one to use) but found that I would have used twice as much sealer, however I did find the Marshall bricks used were quite open pored so they drank the sealer. Final comment, we are very pleased the finish looks fantastic.
Tip top product - swift delivery and text in advance too... Easy to apply and drive looks fab - a little bit shiny without being full wet look! Have had several comments about how great it looks! Highly recommend this product - I will be using again when the time comes :)
Ist class sealer every time We use it.
Hello, I would just like to say how impressed I am with your speed of service in delivering my order, also when I enquired about a product a rapid response was dispatched to me. I have looked at your videos on you tube and thought they were first class also,so if I do not do a good job on my drive it will be down to me!! Thanks once again
Excellent service. Great delivery Sealed my drive and was so impressed I'm now doing my garden patio. It's starting to look fantastic.
I brought smartseal silk finish and put the first coat on a few weeks ago it was brilliant to put on very impressed I have just put my second coat on today agony it looks brilliant more then pleased with the product thank you smartseal
First time I have used the product for our block paving driveway. excellent finish of only one coat, using a roller, and brush for the bevelled edge of bricks this silk finish product looks amazing very well pleased with the comments from our friends and family. would recommend this product to anyone. excellent purchase.
Very efficient, speedy delivery. Block paving driveway is now almost 15 years old and has just received its third application of Silk Sealant, applied with brush and roller. As before, very pleased with finish. Have also received favourable comments from neighbours, some of whom have also got block paving drives (to whom I have forwarded your details!)
Excellent cover and so easy to apply. Delivery was within days so managed to finish my drive before the rai came I bought it off the website and it was so easy. I highly recommend this product and service I received. Job done!!! Thank you
Recently used this on my 120mtrsq drive and it looks fantastic. Huge drive so used the sprayer with no problems and gave it two coats. Have been inspired to use the remainder on my rear patio! Spoke to the team there with a couple of questions and everyone was always helpful and friendly. Brilliant!
Great service products arrived on time, coated large mono block drive with two coats of satin sealer after cleaning and resanding joints, looks like new hope it looks as good in the next few years ?
An excellent service - used the 25 litre silk block sealer - recommend you use the cleaner first - easy to use with the 12" roller and tray - very pleased with the results - covered approx. 45 sq mtrs with 2 coats with just a little left.
First class service, arrived quickly and no problems.
Used two thirds of a 25ltr on my drive and looks like new, brilliant product. Can you please tell me, for how long should I keep the remainder in it's container
After Three weeks of poorly weather I managed to get out and use my Paving sealer in Silk. Initial impressions are very good, very easy to manipulate and dries to a hard silk finish. My driveway looks like new! 5
Used about 10 differnt block paving sealers over the years, first time using SMARTSEAL sealer, and the finish was 100% you could just tell it was a far better quality sealer than all these cheap ones, no just the sealer but a great help from the team at SMARTSEAL all the help & advice i needed wont be bothering with anyone eles.

Smartseal Blocking Paving , have been offered other Sealer which I been told is cheaper. But I would not risk it as Smartseal sealer is the best on the market in my opinion. And the back up service from the team at Smartseal is 1St Class.
I was forewarned about using the product when there is rain about and it was almost 2 months before I applied the first coat. The sprayer supplied was unfit for purpose and this didn't help. Didn't apply enough on the first coat as it is difficult to gauge how much is being used and was wary about not having enough for a second coat. Applied a second coat which made a big difference and eventually a thin third coat. Still had some whiteness which is supposedly caused by moisture but it was always bone dry when I used it. Just back from a 2 week holiday and the colour has lightened. Still looks good but the proof of the pudding will be next Spring after a harsh winter.
5 Star service for all aspects. Application, finish, prompt delivery, slick transaction.........also, a very kind understanding during our chat about the very wet Summer we've had this year.
Excellent advice from Nick when I first called, excellent produce, delivery was very quick and did exactly what I expected it would do. Excellent support, delivery, application and end result. .
Excellent service and excellent product. I'm using the pavier sealant on both paviers and concrete paving slabs with brilliant results. 5 stars
Have use the Block Paving Sealer for the last two years the best in the market place. Always give great finish and easy to use. Also get a great back up service from the team at Smartseal. Many thanks Keith Bromley Kent
Excellent product and great sales team. First time i've tried Smart seal stuff and would recommend all there products.
Fast and efficient. Had goods within 48 hrs.
Excellent Product, friendly and polite people to deal with.
Smartseal's service and customer care is every bit as good as their products. As a professional business, we need top quality products to match our high standard of work. The sealant is easy to apply and provides a great finish. We will be using this excellent sealant with our customers for years to come.
This company provide good service and the products do a great job, its down to you to get the best results by doing the prep work thoroughly ,on older blocks you will need really 3 coats if they have never been sealed can work out expensive but the results are worth the extra coat or that extra drum you will then have a driveway as good as new and be the envy of your neighbours,dont just sweep sand back in it needs wacking and brushing several times the results will be worth the extra time you spend doing all that prep work .
Placed my order and forgot to order Paving Sealant..... was contacted by SmartSeal Agent to confirm my original order... who they asked me if I required the Paving Sealant, I realised I had forgot to order it!! This was no problem the Agent (Nigel) sorted it out and added it to me original order. All was delivered intact and undamaged within a few days and no extra delivery cost to N.Ireland!! Very impressed with this company's customer service, I would recommend and use again.
EXCELLENT SERVICE PRODUCT VERY GOOD.VERY GOOD ADVISE ON PRODUCT.RATE 5
The sealer done the job just as advertised, and so easy to apply, will certainly be using smartseal products again. John Watson
Excellent advice from Nick when I first called, excellent produce, delivery was very quick and did exactly what I expected it would do. Excellent support, delivery, application and end result. If only all companies could reach this standard. I have and will continue to recommend this company and it's people highly.
rapid delivery!! Easy to use product, that gave exellent results.Very impressed .Thank you
I received the order today - a very quick delivery. Smartseal rang me just after I made the on-line order to check that I had ordered the right stuff (which I hadn’t) and pointed me in the right direction. Thank you both for your vigilance and for an excellent service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Smartseal.
First class service - product arrived next day as arranged. Product gave a very good appearance to block paving. On the face of things looks very good but it's only been sealed for a couple of weeks and therefore its probably too early to give any definitive review at this time. Will be interested to see how its standing up at the end of the summer
would just like to say what a great company to deal with. sent sealer out quickly,was good to use and done a superb job and would deal again..many thanks to all
We would just like to thank SmartSeal for the fantastic products and service you provide. We have found the SmartSeal Sealers to be far superior over the competitors products, providing amazing results every time. Thank you once again from Pristine Paving and all our very happy customers.

Vehicles should be kept off the sealed area for a minimum of 24 hours at 20°C. These times may be increased or reduced depending on the ambient temperature. During the curing cycle, protect from rain. Do not apply when the ground temperature is above 23°C or below 12°C. All equipment should be cleaned with Smartseal cleaner fluid after use.
Deicing salts should not be applied directly on Smartseal block paving or concrete sealers. Salt chemically reduces the temperature at which water freezes and will result in water ingress into the concrete. Subsequent freezing may result in the concrete seal being broken by the expansion of water as it freezes and white pitted areas may become visible.
NOT TO BE USED ON CLAY PAVERS

Preparation
New block paving or cobble stone paving should be swept clean, ensuring there is sufficient well-compacted sand in the joints. Existing paving should be pressure washed to remove all surface debris. If the area is contaminated with weeds & moss then it should be treated with Smartseal Fungicidal Wash. Oil and other stains should be removed using Smartseal Cleaner / Oil Remover. The treated area should then be left to dry and the joints re-sanded & compacted to the lower edge of the paver chamfers with clean kiln-dried sand. Moisture in the paver & sand will inhibit penetration of the sealer and produce whiteness.

First time I've tried this block paving sealer and a few years since I last treated the drive. Its's not the cheapest, but it performed exactly as expected. The blocks do look darker (perhaps more uniform colour??) with the sand in between hardened and the surface very waterproof with water beading, whereas I didn't have this before. The surface does look more 'silky' than the 'dusty' appearance it had before. I would use this again but as with all product, preparation is the key (jet wash, re-sand and dry completely & it does smell quite strong but not as bad as other products I've used. I did apply two coats as per instructions.
