Planning the drop in Epsom

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

• In summer Epsom gets around 16h 36m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• On busy streets in Epsom, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Before you order sand

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

Covering bulk bags

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