Mortar is a workable paste used to bind building blocks such as stones, bricks and concrete masonry units together.
These are the most common products used to build houses, offices and most major construction projects within the UK.
Building sand has unique properties which enables the production process of forming clay based bricks.
When the sand is added to the local rick making process, it acts as a filler and prevents shrinkage and helps maintain the shape and dimension of bricks when processed through the kiln. It can also be used to produce specific colours when used to coat the brick moulds.
Sand quarried at Nutfield is used as a major constituent in the material used to build many of the roads in the South East and London, as it is the main ingredient in the production of asphalt.
For the future, there is an opportunity to wash the Nutfield sand with the aim of producing a specialist sand for use in the leisure sector.
When the sand is put through a washing process, the options for this incredibly versatile material increases, as it can be used in many applications such as golf courses for bunkers, equestrian centres for sand schools and gallops etc.
Im not one to make a post, but just had to say JJ Franks from beginning to end was a really smooth service and the delivery driver was amazingly courteous, and helpful. Well done JJ Franks and congrats on a great service.
Extremely efficient service at delivery and collection. Driver expertly negotiated a tricky entrance and drop off with great skill and courtesy!
Skip arrived when expected . The driver was very careful and considerate when placing the skip onto my driveway and was collected at my convenience. Will definitely be hiring a skip again!
Great to work with, friendly staff on hand to help. An overall reliable service!
Great communication, deliveries and pickups were always on time and they sorted out a load of grief I was getting from the Council about skip placement too. Brilliant.
Fantastic service, would definitely use them again.
Efficient, prompt and the best price.
