Getting sand onto your Burntwood 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. Burntwood is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- On busy streets in Burntwood, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
Before you order sand
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.
Covering bulk bags
Cover bags to stop sand drying out or getting saturated, and keep it clean of debris.
