What is included?
Sealing block paving means applying a clear liquid sealer to clean, dry paving. A good sealer soaks into the blocks and the jointing sand, binding the sand so it does not wash out, reducing staining and making the surface easier to keep clean. Some sealers also deepen the colour or leave a light sheen.
Sloping drives are common in parts of Yorkshire, which affects falls, steps and drainage at the bottom of the drive.

Sealing in South Yorkshire: questions
How often should block paving in South Yorkshire be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in South Yorkshire?
Guide price for South Yorkshire: £4.50–£14 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.
