Winter can quietly damage even the best patio. Plex Group shares the seasonal maintenance steps that protect your investment across Worcestershire, Cheltenham, and the wider Cotswolds region.
See how we can help you!

Frost penetrates porous paving, water freezes in open joints and lifts slabs, and leaf debris stains surfaces and blocks drainage. In Worcestershire's clay-heavy ground, seasonal soil movement adds further stress. Patios that weren't prepared in autumn often need significant repair by spring — all of which is preventable.
Before the first frost, clear debris using low-pressure washing or a stiff brush. Check all ACO channels, gullies, and soakaways are clear. For natural stone and concrete patios across Evesham, Cheltenham, and Moreton-in-Marsh, a breathable sealant prevents moisture ingress without trapping damp. Resealing every two to three years is sufficient for most surfaces.
Walk the patio each autumn and inspect for loose or cracked joints. Repoint with polymeric compound before winter to seal out water. When frost arrives, use calcium chloride granules or grit rather than rock salt — salt corrodes natural stone and concrete surfaces. Plex Group offers professional aftercare visits across Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, and Warwickshire to keep patios in peak condition year-round.
