- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- On busy streets in Billericay, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
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.
Working in cold weather
Mortar and concrete should not be laid when temperatures are near freezing. Protect fresh work from frost.
