Hey People,

Happy 2011,

Had my block paving laid about 3 months ago. Brett Block 50mm but 50% of block look damp around the edges of each block. I had a neighbour had its block paving installed about 6 months before mine and they look fine.

Is there a problems with the blocks ???????

Many Thanks in advance,,,,Please Help

Nope, they'll dry out over the summer months and all will be well for ever more. Amen.

Seriously, there's nothing wrong.

We're in the wet season, so the driveway hasn't had a chance to dry out fully, especially given that it was only laid in October.

Look at it again in June and I'll bet the problem has mysteriously vanished!

Thanks guys for the prompt reply.

Just spoke to my neighbour he believes his paver used a sealant which gives a sheen finish and protects it. But i've been told not to use any sealant for atleast 18 months???

any ideas !!! Thanks

....Yes a good idea to read what's been written in reply and wait till the spring. You cant seal till drier weather.
