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.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Surface swept and dried
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- 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 Isle of Wight: questions
Do you cover Newport, Isle of Wight, Ryde and Cowes?
Yes. We cover all of the Isle of Wight, including Newport, Isle of Wight, Ryde and Cowes.
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.
How often should block paving in Isle of Wight be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
