Things to check before you order
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.
Estimating your cement
Laying 2,000 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 17 bags of 25 kg cement and 1.87 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator
Getting cement onto your Ballymena site
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.
- On busy streets in Ballymena, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
Common questions from Ballymena
Do you deliver cement to trades and homeowners in Ballymena?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
How soon can cement be delivered in Ballymena?
We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
How many bags of cement in a cubic metre of concrete?
For a 1:5 cement to all-in ballast mix, roughly 15 bags of 25 kg cement per cubic metre. Our concrete calculator gives the full list.
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.
