Delivery to County Londonderry: 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. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around BT 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.
Picking the right product
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.
