Sanding Block Paving: Why It’s Essential & How A & R Cleaning Sealing Services Can Help

Block paving is one of the most popular choices for driveways, patios, and pathways across the UK — and for good reason. It’s durable, stylish, and low maintenance. However, to keep it looking its best and functioning properly, regular upkeep is essential — especially when it comes to sanding block paving.

What Is Sanding Block Paving?

Sanding block paving is the process of reapplying kiln-dried sand between the joints of your paving blocks. This might seem like a small detail, but it plays a big role in maintaining the strength, appearance, and stability of your paved surface. Over time, natural elements like rain, wind, and even pressure washing can wash away jointing sand. Without it, your blocks may become loose, shift, or even crack. Hence, you should opt for professional driveway sealing services that can restore the beauty and create a clear surrounding for you.

Why Is Re-Sanding or Driveway Sealing So Important?

• Stabilises the Structure: The sand helps interlock the blocks, preventing movement and sinking.
  
  

• Prevents Weeds & Moss: Re-sanding helps seal the joints, reducing the chance of weed growth.
  
  

• Stops Insects Nesting: Proper jointing discourages ants and other insects from burrowing.
  
  

• Prepares for Sealing: Sanding is a vital step before applying sealant, ensuring it penetrates and protects effectively.
