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.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Surface swept and dried
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- How much joint sand is left
- Type of block and its age
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

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.
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.
