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.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
- Surface swept and dried
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
How we find the cause
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Type of block and its age
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
