Planning a block paving sealing job in Boston
Boston is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Boston?

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

Sealing in Boston: questions
Do you cover Spalding and Skegness?
Yes. We cover Boston and the places around it, including Spalding and Skegness, and the rest of Lincolnshire.
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.
