Delivering sand in Kent

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 Kent.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around ME are priced to the exact address.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Building & Sharp Sand: choosing well

Colour of mortar

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

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.

Common questions from Kent

Do you deliver sand to trades and homeowners in Kent?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Kent?

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 sand per 1,000 bricks?

Roughly 1 tonne of soft building sand at a 1:4 mortar mix.

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.
