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.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
- Surface swept and dried
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Type of block and its age
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- How much joint sand is left

Re-sanding in Lanarkshire: questions
Do you cover East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cumbernauld?
Yes. We cover all of Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cumbernauld.
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.
How often should block paving in Lanarkshire 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.
