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.

Colour of mortar

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

How delivery works in Kidderminster

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

• 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 Kidderminster gets around 16h 49m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Estimating your sand

A 10 m² floor screed at 65 mm is 0.65 m³: about 1.04 tonnes of sharp sand at a 1:4 mix, or 2 bulk bags at around 850 kg each, plus the cement. Try the sand calculator

How much sand do I need for a screed?

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.
