Planning the drop in County Antrim

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around BT are priced to the exact address.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

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.

Cement in County Antrim: questions

What is the difference between cement and concrete?

Cement is the binder. Concrete is cement mixed with sand, aggregate and water.

Can you deliver cement to a site with restricted access in County Antrim?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Do you sell cement by the pallet?

Yes. Full pallets make sense for bigger jobs; for smaller quantities bags travel with the rest of your order.

Can I add other materials to my County Antrim delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from cement to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
