Block paving sealing in Ponteland: what to expect
Ponteland is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Ponteland?
For Ponteland, our guide is £4.50–£14 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £225–£680. 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.
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected

Sealing in Ponteland: questions
How often should block paving in Ponteland be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
Do you cover Cramlington, Bedlington and Morpeth?
Yes. We cover Ponteland and the places around it, including Cramlington, Bedlington and Morpeth, and the rest of Northumberland.
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.
