How delivery works in Sutton
Bulk bags are usually crane-lifted onto a drive or kerb where the vehicle and access allow; small bags travel with a mixed load. Sutton is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
- With roughly 7h 51m of daylight in Sutton around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
Building & Sharp Sand: choosing well
Soft or sharp?
Use soft building sand for mortar because it gives a smooth, sticky mix. Use sharp sand where strength and drainage matter: screeds, concrete and paving beds.
Colour of mortar
Building sand colour changes the mortar colour. For matching existing joints, a sample is worth it.
