Building sand / gravel is about 14-16 pounds a ton if I drive to the quarry
20 miles away to get it.The Q
The message from "r.p.mcmurphy" contains these words:
I always buy loose and can't find a recent bill anyway but this time last year I was paying about £26 + VAT per tonne or both sharp sand and gravel and I usually buy sufficient quantities to get free delivery.
Quarry waste (40mm down) was a good bit cheaper - £14-21 + VAT.

I've not bought any for little while, but ISTR paying around GBP30 for a 1 tonne bulk bag of sand or gravel etc. This includes the price of the bags, they all seem to use one trip bags now anyway.
Which make tremendous compost "bins", BTW.
Sounds about right for the sand and gravel.... If you are ordering a skip, then getting the MOT delivered in it can work out cheaper... think I paid about 14/tonne for it that way.
Depends where you are; it's a bit cheaper at

Its about that if you let a 20 tonner drive it (all) to your door as well.
