Block paving sealing in Clydach: what to expect
In and around Clydach, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
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 does a block paving sealing job involve?
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
- Drying time and a date when cars can return
- Sealer applied evenly by roller or low-pressure sprayer
- Edges, walls and doors protected
- Check that the paving is clean, re-sanded and dry
How we find the cause
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Type of block and its age
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first

Sealing in Clydach: questions
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.
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.
