What is included?
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.
Block drives laid twenty or thirty years ago are often ready for re-laying rather than replacing, because sound blocks outlast a weak base.
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Surface swept and dried
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- How much joint sand is left

Re-sanding in Lincolnshire: questions
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.
Do you cover Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe?
Yes. We cover all of Lincolnshire, including Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe.
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 Lincolnshire be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
