Delivering sand in Deeside

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

• With roughly 7h 31m of daylight in Deeside around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

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.

Colour of mortar

Building sand colour changes the mortar colour. For matching existing joints, a sample is worth it.

How much will you need?

A 25 m² floor screed at 65 mm is 1.62 m³: about 2.6 tonnes of sharp sand at a 1:4 mix, or 4 bulk bags at around 850 kg each, plus the cement. Try the sand calculator
