How delivery works in Bridlington

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around YO16 are priced to the exact address.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Getting the right 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.
