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.

Delivering sand in Warwick

Bulk bags are usually crane-lifted onto a drive or kerb where the vehicle and access allow; small bags travel with a mixed load. Warwick 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.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Quantities: a worked example

An 18 m² floor screed at 65 mm is 1.17 m³: about 1.87 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
