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.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Surface swept and dried
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- How much joint sand is left
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
