Order cement for delivery in Belfast

Cement is the grey powder that binds sand and aggregate into mortar and concrete; in the UK it is mostly sold as general-purpose Portland cement in 25 kg bags.

For jobs in Belfast we quote cement as a delivered price to your postcode, with the vehicle and offload method agreed up front.

Before your Belfast delivery arrives

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 BT1 are priced to the exact address.
  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Cement: choosing well

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.

Estimating your cement

Laying 1,250 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 11 bags of 25 kg cement and 1.17 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator
