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.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Surface swept and dried
How we find the cause
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- How much joint sand is left
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Walls, doors and planting to protect

Re-sanding in Lancashire: questions
How much does a re-sanding job cost in Lancashire?
Guide price for Lancashire: £3–£10 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
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 Lancashire 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.
