Jointing sand

[bryan]

hi,
we had some block paving done last year, but we havnt sealed it yet what can i use to stop the jointing sand from being washed away by the hose pipe as it is in an area we let our dogs use, is there anything else that can fill the joints instead of sand, the block paving is tobermore tegula, also the blocks seem to have faded in colour.
anyone any advice please

At the moment, my 'favoured' sealant for concrete block paving is Covergard by Nufins.

thanks for your reply do you know where i can buy it from in manchester, a friend of mine recommended resiblock will this do the same and keep the sand in place

Resiblock is good but expensive. For deatils of stockists of the Covergard stuff, contact them via their website
