What does a re-sanding job involve?

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.

Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.

  • 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
  • Walls, doors and planting to protect
  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
  • Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
  • How much joint sand is left

Re-sanding in County Down: questions

Do you cover Bangor, County Down, Newtownards and Newry?

Yes. We cover all of County Down, including Bangor, County Down, Newtownards and Newry.

How often should block paving in County Down 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.
