How much does a re-sanding job cost in Cheshire?
For Cheshire, our guide is £3–£10 per m² including VAT, so a 50 m² drive is likely to be £200–£500. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Surface swept and dried
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
How we find the cause
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Type of block and its age
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining

Re-sanding in Cheshire: questions
Do you cover Warrington, Chester and Crewe?
Yes. We cover all of Cheshire, including Warrington, Chester and Crewe.
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.
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 Cheshire be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
