Delivering sand in Greater London

Bulk bags are usually crane-lifted onto a drive or kerb where the vehicle and access allow; small bags travel with a mixed load. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Greater London.

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Ordering sand for Greater London: FAQs

How soon can sand be delivered in Greater London?

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Greater London?

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.

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.

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.
