Delivery to Heswall: what helps

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

• With roughly 7h 30m of daylight in Heswall around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• In summer Heswall gets around 17h 00m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Getting the right sand

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.

Covering bulk bags

Cover bags to stop sand drying out or getting saturated, and keep it clean of debris.
