Planning a block paving sealing job in Yate
Around Yate, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
The South West is wetter than the east of England, so falls and drainage are planned before the pattern is chosen.

For Yate, our guide is £5–£15 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £250–£750. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

What you get with our sealing service
Sealing block paving means applying a clear liquid sealer to clean, dry paving. A good sealer soaks into the blocks and the jointing sand, binding the sand so it does not wash out, reducing staining and making the surface easier to keep clean. Some sealers also deepen the colour or leave a light sheen.
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry

Sealing in Yate: questions
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.
Will cleaning damage my block paving?
Not when it is done with a rotary cleaner at medium pressure and the joints are re-sanded afterwards. High-pressure lances held close are what cause damage.
