• On busy streets in Leeds, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• With roughly 7h 25m of daylight in Leeds around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Before you order sand

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.

Building & Sharp Sand questions

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Leeds?

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.

Can I add other materials to my Leeds delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from sand to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

What is the difference between building sand and sharp sand?

Building (soft) sand is fine and makes smooth mortar for laying bricks. Sharp sand is coarser, drains better and is used in concrete, screeds and paving beds.
