We quote re-sanding in every town across Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, including:

What is included?

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.

Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.

  • Surface swept and dried
  • Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
  • Second top-up and surplus swept off
  • Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint

How we find the cause

  • Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
  • Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
  • Walls, doors and planting to protect
  • Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth

Re-sanding in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde: 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.

How often should block paving in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde be cleaned?

Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.

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.
