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.
Former colliery ground and clay soils occur across the North East, so the survey checks for soft spots before the sub-base depth is set.
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Surface swept and dried
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Type of block and its age
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- How much joint sand is left
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio

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.
