Block paving sealing in Dewsbury: the local picture
Dewsbury is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Yorkshire has everything from stone-built terraces to large new estates, so block choice often follows the house: clay or tumbled blocks for older homes, crisp concrete for newer ones.

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
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Edges, walls and doors protected

Sealing in Dewsbury: questions
How often should block paving in Dewsbury be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
Do you cover Ossett, Morley and Cleckheaton?
Yes. We cover Dewsbury and the places around it, including Ossett, Morley and Cleckheaton, and the rest of West Yorkshire.
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.
