Delivering sand in Tipton
Bulk bags are usually crane-lifted onto a drive or kerb where the vehicle and access allow; small bags travel with a mixed load. Tipton is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- In summer Tipton gets around 16h 50m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
Getting the right sand
Covering bulk bags
Cover bags to stop sand drying out or getting saturated, and keep it clean of debris.
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.
