Block paving sealing in Merthyr Tydfil: what to expect
In Merthyr Tydfil, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
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.
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Second coat where the product requires it
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry

Do you cover Aberdare, Mountain Ash and Treharris?
Yes. We cover Merthyr Tydfil and the places around it, including Aberdare, Mountain Ash and Treharris, and the rest of Mid Glamorgan.
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.

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.
