Block paving re-sanding process

Block Paving Re-Sanding

Restore stability and structure to your driveway with professional block paving re-sanding. We replace lost jointing sand, lock blocks firmly in place and leave your paving looking clean, level and properly finished.

Why It Matters

Block Paving Re-Sanding
Done Properly

Re-sanding is a critical part of maintaining block paving. Without it, blocks become unstable, joints open up and your driveway begins to deteriorate both visually and structurally.

Over time, jointing sand naturally erodes due to weather, cleaning and regular use. This creates gaps between blocks, allowing weeds to grow and movement to occur.

Professional re-sanding restores the integrity of your paving by locking blocks back into position and improving drainage across the surface.

When carried out correctly, re-sanding not only improves appearance but also extends the lifespan of your driveway and prevents costly repairs in the future.

Our Process

Block Paving Cleaning & Re-Sanding
Step-by-Step

Our multi-stage cleaning and re-sanding process ensures your block paving is properly cleaned, stabilised and finished to a high professional standard.

Block paving naturally collects dirt, weeds, moss and algae between the joints, leading to staining, instability and drainage issues if left untreated.

We begin with a deep pressure wash using professional equipment to remove surface contamination, followed by a specialist biocide treatment to eliminate organic growth at its source.

A second clean removes any remaining residue before a controlled rinse prepares the surface for re-sanding.

Once fully dry, kiln-dried sand is brushed into the joints to stabilise the blocks, improve drainage and leave a clean, uniform finish.

Common Problems

Issues Caused By Missing Jointing Sand

Without proper re-sanding, block paving quickly becomes unstable and prone to further damage. These are the most common issues we resolve.

Loose block paving and weeds between joints
1

Loose & Unstable Blocks

Without jointing sand, blocks shift under pressure, leading to uneven surfaces and long-term structural issues.

2

Weed Growth Between Joints

Open joints create the perfect environment for weeds to grow, making your driveway look untidy and poorly maintained.

3

Poor Drainage

Gaps between blocks disrupt proper drainage, allowing water to sit on the surface and cause further deterioration.

4

Untidy Appearance

Missing sand leaves visible gaps that make even clean paving look unfinished and worn.
