If your delivery postcode falls outside of those listed on the below map, then delivery will still likely be completed via a Hi Ab vehicle (as above) but could possibly be fulfilled using a manually operated pallet truck, moving the pallet of bag(s) to the kerbside / roadside or onto a level, solid surface such as a tarmac drive (not gravel or grass sorry).

• Hiab vehicles are approximately 9.2 metres (30ft) long, 2.5 metres (8.2ft) wide, 2.6 metres (12ft) high.
• Please allow 2 metres clearance on each side of the vehicle to enable safe operation.
• Any failed deliveries due to site restrictions will result in a wasted journey charge of up to £60.
• The arm on this vehicle can reach between 6-8m.
• The crane cannot operate in close proximity to overhead obstructions such as cables or tree branches and cannot be used to lift pallets over parked vehicles. It is imperative that the unloading area is free from obstructions such as overhanding trees and cables.
• The Hiab vehicle will require the same access as a large bin lorry.

What is Sharp Sand?

Sharp sand, also known as grit sand, river sand or builders’ sand is a gritty sand with a coarse grain. Typically the particles are quite sharp and angular in shape.

As Sharp Sand is mainly mined from inland areas away from the coast it does not contain salts that would otherwise allow it to absorb atmospheric moisture and this makes it ideal for use in the building trade where moisture and damp issues need to be avoided.

What is Sharp Sand Used For?

Due to its versatility, Sharp Sand is a good garden all-rounder. Ideal for screeds, renders or concrete acting as a binding agent, Sharp Sand can also be used when laying slabs or block paving.

Alternatively, Sharp Sand can be utilised to top dress lawns or sprinkled and forked in to peat and compost for root cuttings and propagating cuttings, as it can improve the soil’s overall drainage.
