Delivering cement in Birkenhead

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Birkenhead 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.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
