Before you order cement

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.

Working in cold weather

Mortar and concrete should not be laid when temperatures are near freezing. Protect fresh work from frost.

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 Basingstoke site

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

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• With roughly 7h 52m of daylight in Basingstoke around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Questions about cement delivery in Basingstoke

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.

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Basingstoke?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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

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.
