Block paving sealing in Dinas Powys: the local picture
Around Dinas Powys, 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 you get with our sealing service
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.
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Second coat where the product requires it
How we find the cause
- How much joint sand is left
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Type of block and its age
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

Sealing in Dinas Powys: questions
How often should block paving in Dinas Powys be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
How much does a block paving sealing job cost in Dinas Powys?
Guide price for Dinas Powys: £4.50–£14 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
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.
