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.

Planning the drop in Carrickfergus

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Estimating your cement

Can you deliver cement to a site with restricted access in Carrickfergus?

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.

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.
