Block paving sealing in Leyland: what to expect
In Leyland, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
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 Leyland?
For Leyland, 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 does a block paving sealing job involve?
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.
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer

Sealing in Leyland: questions
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 Leyland be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Chorley, Preston and Blackburn?
Yes. We cover Leyland and the places around it, including Chorley, Preston and Blackburn, and the rest of Lancashire.
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.
