Getting the right 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.

Getting sand onto your Chesham 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. Chesham is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
