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 South West is wetter than the east of England, so falls and drainage are planned before the pattern is chosen.
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Surface swept and dried
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
How we find the cause
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- How much joint sand is left

Re-sanding in Devon: questions
Do you cover Plymouth, Exeter and Paignton?
Yes. We cover all of Devon, including Plymouth, Exeter and Paignton.
How often should block paving in Devon 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.
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.
