Block paving sealing in Sale: the local picture
Sale is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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