What does a re-sanding job involve?
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.
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.
- Surface swept and dried
- Second top-up and surplus swept off
- Plate compactor with a rubber pad to settle the sand
- Kiln-dried sand brushed into every joint
How we find the cause
- How much joint sand is left
- Whether the paving is permeable (no sand, no sealing with the wrong product)
- Shade and drainage, which affect regrowth
- Walls, doors and planting to protect
- Whether any blocks are loose or sunken first

Re-sanding in Worcestershire: 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 much does a re-sanding job cost in Worcestershire?
Guide price for Worcestershire: £3–£10 per m² including VAT, with a minimum charge for small areas.
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.
How often should block paving in Worcestershire be cleaned?
Every two to four years for most drives, more often for shaded or north-facing paving.
