Before you order cement

Working in cold weather

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

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.

How delivery works in Belper

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

• With roughly 7h 33m of daylight in Belper around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
