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.
Working in cold weather
Mortar and concrete should not be laid when temperatures are near freezing. Protect fresh work from frost.
Before your Bathgate delivery arrives
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Bathgate is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- In summer Bathgate gets around 17h 36m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
A quick quantity check
