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.

Planning the drop in Blackburn

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

• In summer Blackburn gets around 17h 05m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• On busy streets in Blackburn, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Ordering cement for Blackburn: FAQs

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Blackburn?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Can you deliver cement to a site with restricted access in Blackburn?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

How many bags of cement in a cubic metre of concrete?

For a 1:5 cement to all-in ballast mix, roughly 15 bags of 25 kg cement per cubic metre. Our concrete calculator gives the full list.

Do you sell cement by the pallet?

Yes. Full pallets make sense for bigger jobs; for smaller quantities bags travel with the rest of your order.
