Delivery to Devon: 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. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Devon.

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• On busy streets in Devon, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Getting the right sand

Covering bulk bags

Cover bags to stop sand drying out or getting saturated, and keep it clean of debris.

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.

Common questions from Devon

Do you deliver sand to Devon?

Yes. We deliver across Devon, including PL, EX, TQ. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Devon. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

What is the difference between building sand and sharp sand?

Building (soft) sand is fine and makes smooth mortar for laying bricks. Sharp sand is coarser, drains better and is used in concrete, screeds and paving beds.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Devon?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
