Choosing cement

Working in cold weather

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

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.

Planning the drop in Brecon

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Estimating your cement

Laying 1,500 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 13 bags of 25 kg cement and 1.4 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator
