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.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.
- Surface swept and dried
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
How we find the cause
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- How much joint sand is left
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth

Re-sanding in Hampshire: questions
How often should block paving in Hampshire be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
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.
