Block paving sealing in Shepherds Bush: the local picture
Shepherds Bush is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Front gardens in much of London are short, so parking depth and the dropped kerb usually decide whether a drive is possible.

What does a block paving sealing job involve?
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.
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
How we find the cause
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- How much joint sand is left
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth

Sealing in Shepherds Bush: questions
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.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Shepherds Bush?
Guide price for Shepherds Bush: £6–£18 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
How often should block paving in Shepherds Bush be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
