What does a block paving sealing job involve?
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.
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Second coat where the product requires it

Sealing in Castleford: questions
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Castleford?
Guide price for Castleford: £4.50–£14 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
Do you cover Pontefract, Lofthouse and Wakefield?
Yes. We cover Castleford and the places around it, including Pontefract, Lofthouse and Wakefield, and the rest of West Yorkshire.
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.
