Building & Sharp Sand: choosing well

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.

How much will you need?

A 15 m² floor screed at 65 mm is 0.98 m³: about 1.56 tonnes of sharp sand at a 1:4 mix, or 2 bulk bags at around 850 kg each, plus the cement. Try the sand calculator

How delivery works in Enniskillen

Bulk bags are usually crane-lifted onto a drive or kerb where the vehicle and access allow; small bags travel with a mixed load. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• On busy streets in Enniskillen, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around BT74 are priced to the exact address.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Common questions from Enniskillen

Can bulk bags go on my drive?

Yes, if the crane can reach and the drive can take the weight. Tell us about any block paving or soft ground.

Can you deliver sand to a site with restricted access in Enniskillen?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Can I add other materials to my Enniskillen delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from sand to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

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.
