    Hi All,

    I've 160 Sq M of paving layed 5 years ago that is annoying my missus because the weeds grow in the sanded joints. Little weeds and a bit of moss that are growing in the joints.
    I've power washed the weeds and most of the sand out of the joints.
    I'm going to resand and whack next good dry day.
    Can anyone recommend a good sealer to seal the paving and deter weed growth.
    I've found a couple of suppliers in Ireland Allcrete in Mullingar and Smartseal in NI that might do . Any past experience with these products?

    Thanks in advance.

    I'd say you'll get better results with jointing compound than than sand and sealer.

    There are various calculators out there to figure out how much it will cost.

    Those products are not suitable for brick paving as the joints are too tight and they dont have the strength in such a small gap.
    I'm stuck with sand and sealer.
