Block paving sealing in Spalding: the local picture
In Spalding, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
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 Spalding?
In the East Midlands, a block paving sealing job usually costs £5–£15 per m² including VAT. For a 50 m² drive, that is roughly £250–£750. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.

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
