Cotec Protective Coatings

Over the years, without proper maintenance, driveways will gradually deteriorate. The general appearance of the driveway becomes untidy, and the longer it is left, the worse the problem becomes. Cotec can rejuvenate your driveway, whether it is Block Paving, Tarmacadam or Imprinted Concrete. The process differs for the specific substrate, but no matter the driveway type, Cotec always delivers A Quality Finish Every Time.

Monoblock Cleaning & Sealing Ayrshire
Cotec Protective Coatings have been rejuvenating block paving driveways for many years, returning them to that new-look appearance. Cotec’s driveway cleaning equipment is all commercial quality, ensuring the best level of cleaning possible. However, if you just want to clean your driveway without re-sanding it, then it can be soft washed (chemical clean), which will clean the driveway without removing all the sand.

The mechanical driveway cleaning is by rotary machine or a turbo lance, which removes the contamination and some of the surface sand to a depth of about one inch. The block is then rinsed after driveway cleaning, to remove any residual sand, and followed by a application of biocide, and the driveway is now left to dry. Once the driveway is dry, which normally takes a minimum of one to two days dependent on the temperature, it is brushed with KILN dried sand, or it can be brushed with moisture cure sand if you do not wish to seal the driveway. The final step is optional but recommended in the driveway rejuvenation, and it is the application of two coats of Premium Block Paving Sealer, available in Matt Silk or Gloss.

Monoblock Cleaning & Sealing, Ayrshire
The installation of Block Magic returns your driveway to that new-look appearance again. Quicker and cheaper than having new block paving laid. If the driveway is worn, it can be coated with Block Magic or Restore-A-Drive to rejuvenate the drive.

Block Magic Sealer has been designed to colour seal the surface of the paving, to improve the aesthetic appearance of blocks, and provide a barrier to contaminants, thereby facilitating easy maintenance. This sealed surface will increase abrasion resistance and also protect the jointing sand from erosion and weed infestation.

Imprinted Concrete Driveways, Ayrshire
The cleaning and sealing of imprinted concrete driveways protects the concrete by providing a protective wear coat. Sealing your driveway will prevent contaminates such as oil or petrol, and minimise the growth of algae and moss. If you have pattern imprinted concrete, you should always ensure that the driveway is sealed every three to five years to keep it looking at its best.
