Planning a block paving sealing job in Caerphilly
Caerphilly is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Caerphilly?
In Wales, a block paving sealing job usually costs £4.50–£14 per m² including VAT. For a 50 m² drive, that is roughly £235–£700. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.

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.
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
How we find the cause
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- How much joint sand is left
