• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

How much does a bulk bag of sand weigh?

Around 850 kg is typical, but bag weights vary between suppliers. We confirm the weight with your price.

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.

Do you deliver sand to trades and homeowners in Nuneaton?

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

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.
