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.
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Surface swept and dried
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
How we find the cause
- Type of block and its age
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining

Re-sanding in Highlands: questions
Do you cover Inverness, Fort William and Nairn?
Yes. We cover all of the Highlands, including Inverness, Fort William and Nairn.
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.
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.
