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.
Block drives laid twenty or thirty years ago are often ready for re-laying rather than replacing, because sound blocks outlast a weak base.
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Surface swept and dried
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
How we find the cause
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- Type of block and its age
- Walls, doors and planting to protect

Re-sanding in Northamptonshire: questions
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.
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 Northampton, Corby and Kettering?

How often should block paving in Northamptonshire be cleaned?
