Cleaning and re-sanding a block-paved driveway in Exwick
What the customer wanted to improve
The work involved cleaning a customer’s block-paved driveway on Exwick Road in Exeter before re-sanding it. Block paving needs the cleaning and finishing stages to work together: the surface must first be washed and rinsed, while the joints can then be replenished once the driveway is dry enough for the sand to be applied properly.
Planning the cleaning sequence
What needed to be considered
The order of work was important. We began with pressure washing, followed this with blackspot treatment, and then rinsed the driveway before allowing the dry conditions needed for re-sanding. This sequence kept the cleaning stage separate from the final jointing work.
How we cleaned and re-sanded the driveway
How the work was carried out
The driveway was handled in a clear sequence, moving from the initial pressure wash to blackspot treatment, rinsing and finally re-sanding. Each stage prepared the block paving for the next, with the dry day allowing the finishing work to be completed properly.
Initial pressure wash
We started by pressure washing the block-paved driveway to clean the surface. Beginning with this stage removed the general build-up first and prepared the paving for the more targeted blackspot treatment that followed.
Blackspot treatment
After the first pressure wash, we applied blackspot treatment to address the darker spotting across the driveway. This gave the cleaning process a more focused stage before the surface was rinsed.
Thorough rinse
Once the blackspot treatment had been carried out, we rinsed the driveway. This completed the cleaning sequence and left the block paving ready for the dry conditions required before re-sanding.
Re-sanding on a dry day
The driveway was re-sanded once the conditions were dry. Replacing the sand brought the finishing stage into the job, helping restore the material within the joints after the block paving had been cleaned.

The finished driveway
What changed after the work
The block-paved driveway was pressure washed, treated for black spots and rinsed as part of the cleaning work. It was then re-sanded on a dry day, completing the job with fresh sand in the joints. Bringing these stages together gave the driveway a cleaner finish and a more orderly appearance, while ensuring the re-sanding followed the washing and rinsing rather than taking place too early.
