We quote re-sanding in every town across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including:

What is included?

Joints empty naturally over time, and especially after pressure washing. Re-sanding on its own is a quick job on a clean, dry surface; on dirty paving it follows a clean.

In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.

  • Second top-up and surplus swept off
  • Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
  • Surface swept and dried
  • Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint

How we find the cause

  • Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
  • Type of block and its age
  • Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
  • Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
