Delivery to Brent: what helps
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Brent is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- In summer Brent gets around 16h 39m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
Getting the right cement
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.
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.
