Frequently Asked Questions
What is block paving resanding?
Resanding is the process of refilling the joints between block paving with kiln-dried or polymeric sand. After pressure washing removes old sand, weeds, and debris, fresh sand is brushed into the gaps to stabilize the blocks and prevent weed regrowth.
How often should you resand block paving?
Block paving typically needs resanding every 2-3 years, or whenever you notice significant sand loss from the joints. Signs you need resanding include loose or wobbly blocks, weeds growing in the gaps, and visible empty joints.
What type of sand should be used for block paving?
We use kiln-dried sand for standard applications and polymeric sand for enhanced weed prevention. Kiln-dried sand is fine, dry sand that flows easily into joints. Polymeric sand contains additives that harden when wet, creating a more permanent joint filler.
Does resanding stop weeds in block paving?
Resanding significantly reduces weed growth by filling the gaps where seeds germinate. Polymeric sand is particularly effective as it sets hard when activated with water, creating a barrier that weeds struggle to penetrate. For best results, combine with sealing.
How much does block paving resanding cost?
Resanding typically costs £2-£4 per square meter on top of the cleaning cost, depending on the size of the area and type of sand used. Polymeric sand costs more but provides longer-lasting results. We provide exact quotes after assessing your driveway.
Can you resand block paving without cleaning first?
We strongly recommend cleaning before resanding. Old sand, dirt, moss, and debris in the joints prevent new sand from settling properly. Cleaning first ensures the new sand fills the joints completely and locks the blocks in place effectively.
