Block paving sealing in Burnley: the local picture
Burnley 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.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Burnley?
For Burnley, 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 you get with our sealing service
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.
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- 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
- Second coat where the product requires it
