How delivery works in Bradford

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Bradford 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.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around BD1 are priced to the exact address.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Getting the right cement

Working in cold weather

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

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.

Estimating your cement

Laying 2,000 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 17 bags of 25 kg cement and 1.87 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator

Cement questions

How soon can cement be delivered in Bradford?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

What is the difference between cement and concrete?

Cement is the binder. Concrete is cement mixed with sand, aggregate and water.

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 Bradford?

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.
