Block paving sealing in Port Glasgow: the local picture
Port Glasgow 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.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Port Glasgow?
In Scotland, a block paving sealing job usually costs £5–£15 per m² including VAT. For a 50 m² drive, that is roughly £250–£750. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.

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.

Sealing in Port Glasgow: 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.
How often should block paving in Port Glasgow be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Greenock, Gourock and Erskine?
Yes. We cover Port Glasgow and the places around it, including Greenock, Gourock and Erskine, and the rest of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde.
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.
