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.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
- 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
- Moss, algae, weeds and oil staining
- How much joint sand is left
- Type of block and its age
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)

Re-sanding in Scottish Borders: questions
How much does a re-sanding job cost in Scottish Borders?
Guide price for Scottish Borders: £3–£10 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
Do you cover Hawick, Galashiels and Peebles?
Yes. We cover all of the Scottish Borders, including Hawick, Galashiels and Peebles.
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.
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.
