Getting cement onto your Barnstaple site
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Barnstaple is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- 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.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
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
Before you order 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.
Cement questions
How many bags of cement in a cubic metre of concrete?

How soon can cement be delivered in Barnstaple?
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.
What is the difference between cement and concrete?
Cement is the binder. Concrete is cement mixed with sand, aggregate and water.

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.
