Delivery to Bicester: 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. Bicester is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around OX25 are priced to the exact address.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- With roughly 7h 45m of daylight in Bicester around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

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