Towns we cover in Cornwall

We quote re-sanding in every town across Cornwall, 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.

The South West is wetter than the east of England, so falls and drainage are planned before the pattern is chosen.

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

How we find the cause

  • Walls, doors and planting to protect
  • Type of block and its age
  • Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
  • Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

How it works

  1. Send the basics

    Postcode, what you need and a rough size. Photos help.

  2. Survey

    We measure, check levels, ground and drainage, and talk through blocks and patterns.

  3. Written quote

    An itemised quote with the specification, the price and the start date.

  4. The work

    Our paving team builds it to the agreed specification and leaves the site swept.

Re-sanding in Cornwall: questions

Do you cover Redruth, Falmouth and St Austell?

Yes. We cover all of Cornwall, including Redruth, Falmouth and St Austell.

How often should block paving in Cornwall be cleaned?

Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.

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.
