What is included?
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.
Yorkshire has everything from stone-built terraces to large new estates, so block choice often follows the house: clay or tumbled blocks for older homes, crisp concrete for newer ones.
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
- Surface swept and dried
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
How we find the cause
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first
- Type of block and its age
