Cement: choosing well

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.

Working in cold weather

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

Delivering cement in Blyth

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

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Ordering cement for Blyth: FAQs

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.

How long does cement keep?

Bagged cement has a use-by date printed on the bag; it lasts only if it is kept completely dry.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Blyth?

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 Blyth?

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.
