What does a re-sanding job involve?
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.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
- Surface swept and dried
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
How we find the cause
- How much joint sand is left
- Type of block and its age
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
