Block paving sealing in Stourbridge: what to expect
Stourbridge is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Clay ground is widespread in the West Midlands, so the sub-base depth and drainage are checked on every survey.

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.
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected

How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Stourbridge?
Guide price for Stourbridge: £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.
