Driveways
The largest area of concrete most properties own and the hardest worked. A driveway is out in the weather all year, carries the weight of vehicles, and takes whatever drips onto it.

Surface protection
The job that is only ever worth doing early
Sealing is the kind of work that is easy to put off. Nothing is wrong with the surface yet, which is exactly the condition it needs to be in for sealing to be the right answer rather than the second-best one.
Advanced Property Maintenance works across the Greater Bendigo region, Castlemaine, Maryborough and the surrounding areas. If you are not sure whether your surface needs sealing, or when it was last done, that is a normal question and a good reason to call — we will tell you what we find and give you an obligation-free quote.
Concrete does not give you much warning. By the time a driveway looks like it needs something done, sealing is no longer the thing it needed.
Surfaces
What we seal
Paths, landings and driveways — and if the surface you have in mind is something else, ask.
Paths
Paths take foot traffic, garden run-off and the weather, and they are usually the first surface a visitor walks on. Sealing protects them the same way it protects the driveway.
Landings
Front and back landings are small areas that get used constantly. Sealing them protects the surface where it gets the most wear.
Why bother
Why seal concrete?
General points about sealing concrete, not claims about any particular product.
It protects the surface
Bare concrete is open to whatever reaches it. A sealed surface has a layer between it and the weather, the traffic and the mess, which is the point of putting one on.
It helps things last
Extending the life of a driveway or a floor is the whole purpose. Concrete does not fail all at once — it goes gradually, and sealing is how you slow the part of that you can control.
It is maintenance, not repair
Sealing is something you choose to do while a surface is still sound. Every other option available to concrete arrives after something has already gone wrong with it.
The work
Our sealing process
It starts with a clean: the surface is cleaned before it is sealed. A sealer goes over whatever is underneath it, so sealing a dirty or stained surface fixes the dirt in place and you look at it until the seal comes off again. Where a driveway needs it, the clean comes first and the seal follows.
Once it is clean, you choose how it should look when it is done: a matt finish or a gloss one.

Common questions
Concrete sealing questions
Not covered here?
Ring us and ask. It is the quickest way to get a straight answer about your own place.
Why should I seal my concrete?
Sealing protects the surface and helps extend its life. Concrete left bare is porous — it takes up whatever lands on it, and weather works at it year round.
We seal driveways, concrete floors and other outdoor features for that reason: it is a straightforward way to protect something that is expensive to replace.
Can I choose a matt or gloss finish?
Yes. We offer both matt and gloss finishes when we seal paths, landings and driveways.
A matt finish keeps the surface looking close to natural concrete, while gloss gives it more of a sheen. If you are not sure which suits your place, ask when you get in touch.
