Block paving sealing in Kempston: what to expect
In and around Kempston, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Flat ground across much of the East means falls have to be built in carefully so water does not sit on the drive.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Kempston?
For Kempston, our guide is £5.50–£16 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £265–£790. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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