Patchy paving can result from embedded soil, uneven moisture, remnants of old products or differences in the stone. A uniform colour should not be promised without understanding the cause.
Paving that dries unevenly may have different absorption rates, old coating remnants or localised water retention. The right first question is whether the patches disappear when the stone fully dries.
Patchy stone paving after rain: choosing the next step
Cleaning and stripping are different processes. Removing a previous coating may require a trial, and applying more sealer before an existing coating is identified can create further problems.
A cleaning trial may reduce embedded surface soil, but topping up a sealer cannot reliably remove an existing film or fix moisture moving through a slab. Understanding the previous product helps avoid creating another patchy layer.
