Block Paving Re-Sanding and Sealing in Tunbridge Wells and across Kent

The sand between paving blocks does an important job. It locks the blocks together so they do not shift, and it gives weeds less room to take hold. Cleaning a drive takes some of that sand out, and over time it washes away anyway. Re-sanding puts it back, and sealing over the top helps hold it in place and protects the blocks from staining.

What is included

• Fresh kiln dried jointing sand
• Weeds cleared from the joints
• Sealer to help lock the sand in
• Better resistance to oil and stains
• Driveways, paths and patios
• Pairs with a pressure wash

Why the sand matters

Block paving is held together by friction between the blocks, and the jointing sand is what creates it. When the joints empty, blocks start to rock and shift, edges chip, and weeds find an easy home. Topping the joints back up with dry sand keeps the whole surface tight.

What sealing does

A paving sealer soaks into the surface of the blocks and the sand. It helps bind the joints, makes it harder for weeds to root and makes spills such as oil easier to deal with. Some sealers also bring out the colour of the blocks.

Doing it in the right order

Clean first, let the surface dry, sand the joints, then seal. Sealing a damp or dirty drive traps the problem underneath, so dry weather and good timing matter as much as the materials.
