Block paving sealing in Pontypool: the local picture
Pontypool is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

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