Choosing sand

Soft or sharp?

Colour of mortar

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

How delivery works in Ossett

Bulk bags are usually crane-lifted onto a drive or kerb where the vehicle and access allow; small bags travel with a mixed load. Ossett is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around WF5 are priced to the exact address.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Quantities: a worked example

A 20 m² floor screed at 65 mm is 1.3 m³: about 2.08 tonnes of sharp sand at a 1:4 mix, or 3 bulk bags at around 850 kg each, plus the cement. Try the sand calculator
