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.

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

How we find the cause

  • Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
  • Type of block and its age
  • Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
  • Walls, doors and planting to protect
  • How much joint sand is left

Re-sanding in West Yorkshire: 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 West Yorkshire be cleaned?

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

Do you cover Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield?

Yes. We cover all of West Yorkshire, including Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield.

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.
