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.
Before your Omagh delivery arrives
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.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- With roughly 7h 15m of daylight in Omagh around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around BT81 are priced to the exact address.
