Getting cement onto your Accrington site
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Accrington is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- In summer Accrington gets around 17h 05m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
Getting the right cement
How much cement do I need?
Work from the mix: a 1:4 mortar or a 1:5 concrete mix tells you the share of cement. Our calculators turn wall or slab sizes into bags.
Storage
Cement goes off if it gets damp. Keep bags on a pallet, covered and off the ground, and order what you will use within its shelf life.
