Re-sanding and re-jointing in Kent

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

What does a re-sanding job involve?

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.

Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.

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

How we find the cause

  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
  • How much joint sand is left
  • Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
  • Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
  • Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio

Re-sanding in Kent: questions

How much does a re-sanding job cost in Kent?

Guide price for Kent: £3–£11 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.

How often should block paving in Kent 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.
