Getting sand onto your Buckie site

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around AB56 are priced to the exact address.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Things to check before you order

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.
