Picking the right product

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.

How delivery works in Hastings

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• In summer Hastings gets around 16h 31m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Ordering sand for Hastings: FAQs

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Hastings?

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 Hastings?

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.

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.
