We quote re-sanding in every town across the West Midlands, including:

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.

Inter-war semis with narrow front gardens are common in the West Midlands, so front garden conversions and drive widenings are often the practical choice.

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

How we find the cause

  • Type of block and its age
  • Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
  • How much joint sand is left
  • Which sealer finish suits a slope or patio
  • Walls, doors and planting to protect

Re-sanding in West Midlands: questions

How often should block paving in West Midlands be cleaned?

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

Do you cover Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton?

Yes. We cover all of the West Midlands, including Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton.

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.
