Selection of traditional building sands and aggregates

Sand & Aggregates

A wide range of sands from various parts of the British Isles are stocked enabling the reproduction of regional, geological and historical mortar variations to be supplied. These include limestone sands from Gloucester and Oxford, red sands from Devon, and quartz sands from Kent, Surrey, Somerset and Dorset. These are often sieved and/or blended for specific mortar matching. Fine silica sands are also stocked.

A selection of traditional additives are supplied, normally to enable accurate matching of traditional or historic mortars. These include pea-chalk, sieved charcoal and coal ash, and horse and goat hair.

We also maintain an extensive library of aggregates from sources across the UK, many no longer available commercially.
