What is included?
Re-sanding is refilling the joints between blocks with fine, dry jointing sand, usually kiln-dried, and working it down with a brush and a plate compactor fitted with a protective pad. The sand in the joints is what makes blocks lock together; when it washes or sweeps out, the blocks can move, rattle and let weeds in.
Flat ground across much of the East means falls have to be built in carefully so water does not sit on the drive.
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Surface swept and dried
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
How we find the cause
- Type of block and its age
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

Re-sanding in Bedfordshire: questions
Can you seal my drive straight after cleaning?
Only once it is completely dry and re-sanded. Sealing damp paving traps moisture and can leave a white bloom.
How often should block paving in Bedfordshire be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
Do you cover Luton, Bedford and Dunstable?
Yes. We cover all of Bedfordshire, including Luton, Bedford and Dunstable.
Will cleaning damage my block paving?
Not when it is done with a rotary cleaner at medium pressure and the joints are re-sanded afterwards. High-pressure lances held close are what cause damage.
