Soft building sand is prized for its smooth finish and user-friendly properties. Often used in bricklaying, it effortlessly combines with cement and water to create mortar for sturdy structures. Beyond bricklaying, it serves as a foundation for slabs and paving. The sand's softness and fine composition ensure consistently smooth results, making it ideal for decorative purposes, such as creating a beach-like aesthetic in gardens.
We deliver high-quality soft building sand to construction sites across the UK, and its applications include general building, landscaping, pointing, decorative displays, bricklaying, rendering, and under slabs. For projects requiring substantial mortar production, we recommend it to labourers equipped with heavy-duty mixing machinery.
Soft building sand features fine sand and clay particles, locally sourced from quarries and seabeds. While moisture content may cause slight weight variations, each bulk bag contains a minimum 750kg. The sand's benefits include its multi-purpose nature, guarantee of smooth surfaces, ease of use, and the ability to create bricklaying mortar with cement and water.
Please note that this product is locally sourced from quarries around the country and the colour and texture may therefor vary. We strongly advise that you order one project in one batch to avoid mortar colour variation when used on facing brickwork.

All of our C16 and C24 graded timber is regularised
Regularised timber is timber that has been processed to have a uniform shape and size. This means that the wood has been sawn and planed to remove any irregularities and ensure that each piece of wood has consistent dimensions. Regularised timber is often used in construction, particularly in the framing of buildings, as it is easier to work with and can be more efficiently installed than irregularly shaped timber.
We have one of the largest ranges of timber lengths, dimensions and grades available to buy online.
The variation you require will determine the exact lead time and delivery method.
Most orders arrive within 3-4 days, the maximum is 7 days. Please get in touch before you order if you need a specifc delivery date.

If you'd prefer crane offloading rather than tail lift vehicle offloading for your brick order then this service is available for the majority of bricks that we sell. Charges are shown at checkout.
