How delivery works in Broadstairs

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

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• In summer Broadstairs gets around 16h 37m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

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.
