Beatsons White Building Sand

Beatsons White Sand, also known as White Building Sand, White Mortar Sand, or FS1 sand, is a fine-grade silica sand with sub-rounded grains. Its consistent grain size and high silica content improve both the workability and strength of mortar mixes. It is the preferred choice for tradespeople and DIYers wanting a clean, light-coloured finish on brickwork, pointing, or rendering projects. Available in a 20kg bag for smaller jobs or an 850kg bulk bag for larger builds, it suits both domestic and commercial applications.

Beatsons MOT Type 1 Sub Base

Beatsons MOT Type 1 Sub Base is a crushed rock aggregate, graded from roughly 40mm down to dust, for building a solid, level foundation under patios, driveways, paths, block paving and shed bases. When you compact it with a plate compactor or roller, the mix of stone sizes and fines locks together into a dense, load-bearing layer. That layer spreads weight evenly and stops slabs rocking, blocks sinking and tarmac rutting. It comes in 850kg bulk bags for larger jobs and 25kg bags for repairs, small bases and hard-to-reach gardens. One bulk bag covers about 5m² at 100mm (4 inch) depth loose, or about 4m² at 100mm (4 inch) depth once compacted. Lay it in layers, compact each one, and allow extra depth for driveways or soft ground. Available for delivery or Click & Collect.

Beatsons Whin Dust

Beatsons Whin Dust is a 0-4mm crushed whinstone (basalt) aggregate, ideal as a sub-base and screeding layer for artificial grass, block paving, and garden pathways. Also known as quarry dust, its angular particles compact into a firm, moisture-resistant surface, offering superior binding and drainage compared to standard soft sand. Available in convenient 25kg bags or 850kg Bulk Bags, it suits small DIY jobs and larger landscaping projects alike. Sourced from durable Scottish basalt rock, Whin Dust resists wash-out and provides a stable, level base beneath paving flags, artificial turf, or driveways.

Beatsons Premium Washed Building Sand

Beatsons Premium Washed Building Sand is a fine, soft sand for mixing bricklaying and pointing mortar. Washing removes the clay, silt and organic debris that cause mortar to shrink, crack and weaken, so joints stay tight and look cleaner for longer. Its fine, consistent grain blends easily with cement and water for a smooth, workable mix that holds well on the trowel. It is ideal for brickwork, blockwork, pointing, masonry repairs and general building work on domestic and trade projects. It is available in approx. 850kg bulk bags, covering around 10m² at 50mm depth, or handy 20kg small bags for quick repairs. Choose direct site delivery or Click & Collect.
