Block paving sealing in Larne: the local picture
Larne is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Larne?
For Larne, our guide is £5–£14 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £240–£710. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

What does a block paving sealing job involve?
Sealing only works on paving that has been cleaned and re-sanded first and is completely dry, so it is usually part of a clean, re-sand and seal package. It is not permanent: most sealers need renewing every three to seven years as they wear in the wheel tracks, and new paving should be left for a few months before sealing so moisture and any white efflorescence can clear.
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Second coat where the product requires it

Yes. We cover Larne and the places around it, including Carrickfergus, Ballyclare and Newtownabbey, and the rest of County Antrim.
Can you seal my drive straight after cleaning?
Only once it is completely dry and re-sanded. Sealing damp paving traps moisture and can leave a white bloom.
