What does a re-sanding job involve?
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.
Clay soils are common in parts of the East of England, so drainage and sub-base depth get extra attention.
- 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
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- How much joint sand is left
- Type of block and its age
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio

Re-sanding in Cambridgeshire: questions
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.
Do you cover Peterborough, Cambridge and Wisbech?
Yes. We cover all of Cambridgeshire, including Peterborough, Cambridge and Wisbech.
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.
