Block paving sealing in Bargoed: what to expect
Around Bargoed, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.

What is included?
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.
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected

How we find the cause
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first

Sealing in Bargoed: questions
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 Blackwood, Abercarn and Abertillery?
Yes. We cover Bargoed and the places around it, including Blackwood, Abercarn and Abertillery, and the rest of Gwent.
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.
How often should block paving in Bargoed be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
