Getting sand onto your Rhyl site
Bulk bags are usually crane-lifted onto a drive or kerb where the vehicle and access allow; small bags travel with a mixed load. Rhyl is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- 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
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.
