How delivery works
We work with a nationwide network of trusted suppliers. Items in your basket may be supplied by different suppliers and delivered separately. Where this applies, you will see delivery charges shown at checkout for each part of your order. We always aim to group products from the same supplier to keep delivery costs as low as possible.
Delivery areas
Delivery charges apply to mainland UK, excluding: AB, CA, CF, DD, DG, EH, EX, FK, KA, KW, KY, IV, LA, LD, LL, ML, NP, PA, PH, PL, SA, SY, TR, TQ and TD.
If your address is in one of these areas, we will contact you before processing your order to confirm any additional costs. We do not currently offer delivery outside the UK mainland.
What to expect on delivery day
- Deliveries are typically kerbside.
- Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
- Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.
Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery
Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.
Returns
Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.

Product Overview
Soft building sand supplied in a loose load format. This fine-grained natural sand consists primarily of silica particles typically ranging from 0-2mm in size, quarried and washed to produce a smooth, workable texture suitable for mortar and bricklaying applications.
It provides excellent plasticity, clean binding properties, and consistent moisture retention, making it ideal for use in general building works, masonry, rendering, and pointing. When mixed with cement and water, this sand aids in forming a smooth, durable mortar with strong adhesion and an even finish.
Supplied as a bulk loose load, it allows direct tipping for large-scale construction, masonry, or rendering projects where high-volume supply and efficiency are essential.
Features & Benefits
- Smooth Workability: Fine, even grading provides an easy-to-trowel texture for precise bricklaying, pointing, and rendering.
- Strong Binding Properties: Combines effectively with cement to form a cohesive and durable mortar with long-lasting adhesion.
- Moisture Retention: Natural sand composition maintains consistent water balance for extended working time and reduced cracking.
- Uniform Quality: Washed and graded to produce a clean, contaminant-free material with predictable colour and texture.
- Bulk loose format: Delivered without packaging to allow for direct tipping and immediate use on large-scale groundwork areas.
- Tipping vehicle delivery: Supplied on a specialised lorry designed to offload the material by tipping directly onto the ground.
Applications
- Bricklaying and Masonry Work: Used for producing mortar beds and joints with smooth, uniform finish.
- Rendering and Plastering: Suitable for exterior or interior wall coatings requiring fine, consistent texture.
- Pointing and Repointing: Provides strong, weather-resistant joints for brick, block, or stonework.
- General Building Works: Used across a range of structural and finishing applications requiring soft, workable sand.
- Mortar Production: Mixed with cement and water to create a high-quality mortar suitable for both load-bearing and finishing tasks.
Installation Guidance
- Site Preparation: Ensure clean, level working areas before mortar or sand placement.
- Mixing: Combine sand with cement and water in appropriate ratios to achieve desired mortar consistency.
- Application: Apply evenly between or across surfaces, maintaining consistent joint thickness.
- Workability Control: Adjust water content as needed to prevent stiff or overly wet mixes.
- Finishing: Smooth and tool joints as required before the mortar begins to set for optimal finish and durability.
Compliance & Performance
- Material Specification: Fine washed silica sand graded 0-2mm for mortar and plaster applications.
- Performance Standard: Conforms to BS EN 13139 for mortar sand and BS EN 998-2 for masonry mortar.
- Physical Properties: Fine, clean, and low in clay content to maintain strength, adhesion, and smooth workability.
- Non-returnable status: This product cannot be returned or refunded once it has been offloaded from the delivery vehicle.
- Important note: Ensure the tipping area is clear of overhead cables and has sufficient space for a large HGV to manoeuvre safely.
