Block paving sealing in Farnham: the local picture
Farnham is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Farnham?
In the South East, a block paving sealing job usually costs £5.50–£16 per m² including VAT. For a 50 m² drive, that is roughly £270–£810. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.

What is included?
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.
- Second coat where the product requires it

Sealing in Farnham: 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.
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 Farnham be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
