Covering bulk bags

Cover bags to stop sand drying out or getting saturated, and keep it clean of debris.

Colour of mortar

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

Before your Aylesbury delivery arrives

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• On busy streets in Aylesbury, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• In summer Aylesbury gets around 16h 42m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Estimating your sand

A 12 m² floor screed at 65 mm is 0.78 m³: about 1.25 tonnes of sharp sand at a 1:4 mix, or 2 bulk bags at around 850 kg each, plus the cement. Try the sand calculator

Building & Sharp Sand questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Aylesbury?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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.

Do you deliver sand to trades and homeowners in Aylesbury?

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