Trades and homeowners in Bordon can order sand for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

Delivering sand in Bordon

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

  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Choosing sand

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.
