Questions about sand delivery in Faversham

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.

Do you deliver sand to trades and homeowners in Faversham?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

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.

How soon can sand be delivered in Faversham?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
