Delivery to Aldershot: what helps

Bulk bags are usually crane-lifted onto a drive or kerb where the vehicle and access allow; small bags travel with a mixed load. Aldershot is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• On busy streets in Aldershot, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• In summer Aldershot gets around 16h 35m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Choosing sand

Soft or sharp?

Use soft building sand for mortar because it gives a smooth, sticky mix. Use sharp sand where strength and drainage matter: screeds, concrete and paving beds.

Colour of mortar

Building sand colour changes the mortar colour. For matching existing joints, a sample is worth it.

Building & Sharp Sand questions

Do you deliver sand to trades and homeowners in Aldershot?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

What is the difference between building sand and sharp sand?

Building (soft) sand is fine and makes smooth mortar for laying bricks. Sharp sand is coarser, drains better and is used in concrete, screeds and paving beds.

Can bulk bags go on my drive?

Yes, if the crane can reach and the drive can take the weight. Tell us about any block paving or soft ground.
