Before you order sand
Colour of mortar
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.
Planning the drop in Great Yarmouth
Bulk bags are usually crane-lifted onto a drive or kerb where the vehicle and access allow; small bags travel with a mixed load. Great Yarmouth is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around NR30 are priced to the exact address.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
Your questions answered
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.
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Great Yarmouth?
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.
How much does a bulk bag of sand weigh?
Around 850 kg is typical, but bag weights vary between suppliers. We confirm the weight with your price.
Can you deliver sand to a site with restricted access in Great Yarmouth?
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.
