Driveways
Sealing a driveway protects the concrete from oil stains, tyre marks, water ingress and surface weathering. It is a practical option for driveways in good condition that need protection rather than a full resurfacing.

About This Service
What Does Concrete Sealing Do?
Concrete sealing involves applying a protective sealant to an existing concrete surface. The sealer penetrates or sits on top of the concrete and creates a barrier against water, staining and surface wear. It can extend the life of the surface and make it easier to clean.
Sealing is best suited to concrete in reasonable condition. It does not significantly change the appearance of the surface, though some sealers add a slight sheen or wet-look finish depending on the product. We discuss the right sealer for your surface during the free site visit.
Applications
Where Concrete Sealing Works Best
Concrete sealing is suitable for a wide range of outdoor surfaces. Here are the most common areas we seal across Sydney homes and commercial properties.
Patios and Outdoor Slabs
Outdoor entertaining areas can be sealed to protect the surface from weathering, foot traffic marks and staining. The sealer keeps the slab looking cleaner for longer.
Pool Surrounds
Pool surrounds are exposed to water, chemicals and heavy foot traffic. Sealing can help protect the surface and make it easier to clean. Product selection depends on the conditions and the type of concrete.
Pathways and Paths
Concrete paths around the home can be sealed to protect the surface from weathering and make them easier to maintain.
New Concrete
Newly laid concrete can be sealed once it has cured sufficiently to protect the surface from early staining and water ingress. We advise on the right timing for new concrete.
Garage and Workshop Floors
Concrete garage floors can be sealed to reduce oil and chemical penetration and make the floor easier to clean. Sealing is an alternative to a full epoxy coating for some situations.
Sealer Options
Concrete Sealing Options
Different sealers suit different surfaces, conditions and desired results. We can discuss the options during the free site visit.
Penetrating Sealers
Penetrating sealers soak into the concrete and react chemically to form a barrier within the slab. They do not change the surface appearance and are suitable for most outdoor concrete.
Acrylic Sealers
Surface-applied acrylic sealers provide a protective film over the concrete. They can provide a slight sheen finish and are available in different levels of gloss.
Wet Look Sealers
These sealers provide a deeper, enhanced appearance to the concrete while still offering protection. They make the natural colour of the concrete appear richer.
Matt Finish Sealers
A low-sheen protective sealer for surfaces where a natural, flat appearance is preferred. Provides protection without adding visible gloss.
The Process
How Concrete Sealing Works
Site Visit and Surface Assessment
We inspect the existing concrete to confirm its condition is suitable for sealing, check for contamination or existing coatings and recommend the right sealer for the surface and its use.
Surface Preparation
We clean the surface properly to remove any dirt, oil or residues that would prevent the sealer from bonding or penetrating correctly. Preparation is key to a lasting result.
Sealer Application
We apply the selected sealer according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring even coverage across the whole surface. Some sealers require multiple coats.
Curing and Handover
Sealers require time to cure before the surface is ready for foot and vehicle traffic. We walk you through the curing requirements and let you know when the surface can be used.

Common Questions
Concrete Sealing FAQs
What does concrete sealing do?
Concrete sealing applies a protective barrier over or into the concrete surface. It helps prevent water ingress, staining and surface wear, which can extend the life of the concrete and make it easier to keep clean.
How often should concrete be resealed?
The resealing interval depends on the product used, the surface type and the amount of use the area receives. Surfaces in high-traffic areas or exposed to harsh conditions may need more frequent attention. We can advise based on your specific situation.
Will sealing change the appearance of my concrete?
This depends on the product. Penetrating sealers typically leave little visible change. Surface sealers may add a slight sheen or wet-look finish. We discuss the options and their visual effect at the site visit so you can choose a product that suits what you want.
Can new concrete be sealed?
Yes, but it needs to cure for an appropriate period first. Sealing too early can trap moisture in the concrete. We advise on the right timing for new concrete based on the product and conditions.
Does sealing protect a driveway against oil stains?
Sealing can help reduce oil penetration and make stains easier to clean up, but it does not make the surface completely stain-proof. The level of protection depends on the sealer used and how quickly spills are cleaned up.
