Sand
Sand is a natural, fine-grain material made from crushed rock and minerals, usually silica in the form of quartz. It’s used in everything from mortar to plaster to playpits. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right type:
- Building sand: Soft sand is ideal for bricklaying and pointing, giving a smooth finish.
- Sharp sand: Coarse, washed sand used in concrete and for bedding paving slabs.
- Plastering sand: Washed fine sand suitable for internal and external plastering.
- Kiln-dried sand: Fine dry silica sand used to fill joints in block paving.
- Dried silica sand: Coarse sand used for sports surfaces, with grains up to 3mm.
- Playpit sand: Clean, non-staining sand suitable for children's play areas (age 36 months+).
Chippings
Chippings (also called gravel) are small stones used for drainage, driveways and concrete:
- 10mm chippings: Great for smooth concrete, driveways and paths.
- 20mm chippings: Best for high-strength concrete and heavier-duty surfaces.
Cement
Cement is the key binding ingredient in concrete and mortar. Made by heating and grinding limestone and clay, it becomes rock hard when mixed with water.
We stock a selection of professional-grade cements:
- OPC cement: General-purpose cement suitable for concrete, mortar, render and screed.
- High-strength cement: Designed for early strength and cold weather use, ideal for pre-casting.
- White cement: Great for decorative or light-coloured finishes, with improved frost resistance.
- Lime: Improves workability and water retention in mortar mixes.
- Postfix: Quick-setting mix for securing fence posts, pergolas, garden lights and more.
Additives
Additives are liquid products added to concrete or mortar to improve performance. They’re added just before or during mixing and can adjust everything from strength to setting time.
We supply additives for every application:
- Water reducers: Reduce water content without compromising strength or workability.
- Retarders – Slow down setting in hot weather to give you more working time.
- Accelerators – Speed up early strength gain, ideal for cold weather or faster turnaround.
- Plasticisers – Make concrete more fluid and easier to pour with less water.
- Corrosion inhibitors – Protect steel reinforcements in concrete from rust, especially in salty environments.
