Before you order sand

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.

Getting sand onto your Weymouth 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. Weymouth is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• On busy streets in Weymouth, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
