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.
Sloping drives are common in parts of Yorkshire, which affects falls, steps and drainage at the bottom of the drive.
- Surface swept and dried
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
How we find the cause
- Type of block and its age
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- How much joint sand is left
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
