Building & Sharp Sand: choosing well

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.

Colour of mortar

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

How delivery works in Harrow

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• In summer Harrow gets around 16h 39m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
