Re-sanding and re-jointing in Gloucestershire

Tired block paving in Gloucestershire rarely needs replacing. A deep clean, fresh jointing sand and, if you want it, a sealer, make most drives look years younger.

Towns we cover in Gloucestershire

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.

The South West is wetter than the east of England, so falls and drainage are planned before the pattern is chosen.

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

How we find the cause

  • Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
  • Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
  • Type of block and its age
  • Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining

Re-sanding in Gloucestershire: questions

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.

How often should block paving in Gloucestershire be cleaned?

Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
