Block paving sealing in Thornton-Cleveleys: what to expect
In Thornton-Cleveleys, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.

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.
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- 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
How we find the cause
- How much joint sand is left
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining

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