Sand & Ballast

Sand and ballast are vital components in concrete production, mortar mixes, landscaping and general building work. Whether you're laying paving, creating sub-bases, mixing concrete or completing brickwork, our range of high-quality aggregates ensures strength, stability and reliable performance across all types of projects.

Sharp Sand for Strong Concrete Mixes and Paving Projects

Sharp sand is ideal for creating strong concrete mixes, laying slabs, block paving, screeding and external rendering. Its coarse texture provides excellent strength and drainage properties, making sharp sand a reliable choice for groundwork and structural tasks.

Soft Sand for Bricklaying and Smooth Mortar Mixes

Soft sand (also known as building sand) is perfect for bricklaying, pointing, plastering and creating smooth mortar mixes. Its fine, workable consistency helps soft sand produce clean joints, easy trowel application and a professional finish on all masonry work.

Ballast for Durable Concrete and Sub-Base Construction

Ballast is a pre-mixed blend of gravel and sand designed for forming strong concrete used in foundations, footings, fence posts and general construction. With excellent load-bearing strength, ballast is suitable for DIY tasks as well as large-scale building projects requiring durable concrete mixes.

Type 1 for Sub-Bases, Driveways and Ground Stabilisation

Type 1 is a compactable aggregate used for forming solid sub-bases under driveways, patios, paths and road surfaces. Known for its strength and stability, Type 1 provides a robust foundation that supports long-lasting, level finishes across landscaping and structural groundwork.
