Block paving sealing in Stockport: the local picture
Stockport has everything from short terrace frontages to wide drives on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout and the dig.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

For Stockport, 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 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
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Edges, walls and doors protected
How we find the cause
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Type of block and its age
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

Sealing in Stockport: 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.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Stockport?
Guide price for Stockport: £5–£15 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
How often should block paving in Stockport be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
