Picking the right product

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.

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.

Getting cement onto your Andover site

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Andover is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around SP10 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
