Towns we cover in Forth Valley

We quote re-sanding in every town across the Forth Valley, including:

What is included?

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.

Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.

  • Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
  • Surface swept and dried
  • Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
  • Second top-up and surplus swept off

How we find the cause

  • Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
  • Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
  • Type of block and its age
  • Walls, doors and planting to protect

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.
