How delivery works in Norfolk

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 Norfolk.

• On busy streets in Norfolk, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• 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

Covering bulk bags

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

Colour of mortar

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

Your questions answered

How much sand do I need for a screed?

Multiply the floor area by the screed depth to get cubic metres, then allow about 1.6 tonnes of sharp sand per cubic metre plus cement at your mix. Our sand calculator does the sums.

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

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.
