Driveway sealing · Queenstown & Wanaka
Driveway sealing, built for alpine winters.
Penetrating, breathable sealers for concrete, exposed aggregate and paver driveways across the Southern Lakes. Stops oil from staining, stops moisture from freezing into the slab, stops the long slow decline.
Driveways we seal
Every driveway type has its own sealer.
Concrete driveways
Standard broom-finish and smooth concrete driveways. A penetrating sealer locks out oil, moisture and freeze-thaw damage without changing the appearance of the slab.
Exposed aggregate
Paving Protect is engineered specifically for exposed aggregate's pore structure. Brings out the natural colour of the stones, repels oil, and stops the cement matrix between aggregate from eroding under tyre traffic.
Paver driveways
Concrete and clay paver driveways benefit hugely from sealing — both the pavers themselves and the sand-filled joints between. Sealed jointing sand resists weed growth and ant burrow.
Decorative & coloured concrete
Coloured, stamped or stencilled concrete is an investment. Sealing protects the colour from UV fade and stops the pattern from looking weathered after a few winters.
New concrete driveways
Sealing a new driveway after the 28-day cure is the single best thing you can do to extend its visible life. Builders increasingly include sealing in handover — we work directly with concrete contractors across the region.
Reseal of existing driveways
Older sealed driveways need re-coating every 3-5 years. We can usually re-coat over an existing penetrating sealer with minimal prep — film-forming sealers may need stripping first.
How we work
Slow when it matters, fast when it doesn’t.
01
On-site assessment
We come and look at the surface in person. Identify the substrate, test a small area, and work out what the surface actually needs.
02
Tailored method
Soft wash, steam, mild alkaline cleaner, biocide treatment, chosen for your surface, not from a one-size-fits-all playbook.
03
Careful application
Low-pressure equipment that won't damage the substrate. Plant protection. Spot-testing as we go.
04
Optional sealing
Once clean, a breathable sealer extends the result and protects against future moss, salt and water damage.
