Choosing sand

Covering bulk bags

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

Colour of mortar

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

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around TW20 are priced to the exact address.
• With roughly 7h 50m of daylight in Egham around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Roughly 1 tonne of soft building sand at a 1:4 mortar mix.
