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.
Former colliery ground and clay soils occur across the North East, so the survey checks for soft spots before the sub-base depth is set.
- Surface swept and dried
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- How much joint sand is left
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
