Cement: choosing well
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.

Common questions from Canvey Island
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.
What is the difference between cement and concrete?
Cement is the binder. Concrete is cement mixed with sand, aggregate and water.
Can you deliver cement to a site with restricted access in Canvey Island?
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.
Can I add other materials to my Canvey Island delivery?
Yes. Put everything on one list, from cement to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
