Getting cement onto your Alfreton site
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Alfreton 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.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- In summer Alfreton gets around 16h 57m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Things to check before you order
Working in cold weather
Mortar and concrete should not be laid when temperatures are near freezing. Protect fresh work from frost.
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.
