Getting the right sand
Soft or sharp?

Colour of mortar
Building sand colour changes the mortar colour. For matching existing joints, a sample is worth it.
Delivery to Caerphilly: 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. Caerphilly is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- In summer Caerphilly gets around 16h 39m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- On busy streets in Caerphilly, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
