Block paving sealing in Blackpool: the local picture
Blackpool has a big mix of housing, from older terraces near the centre to newer estates further out, so no two drives here start from the same ground.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

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.
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Drying time and a date when cars can return

Sealing in Blackpool: 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.
How often should block paving in Blackpool be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
