Delivery to Catford: what helps
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Catford 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.
- With roughly 7h 50m of daylight in Catford around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
Things to check before you order
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.
Working in cold weather
Mortar and concrete should not be laid when temperatures are near freezing. Protect fresh work from frost.
Your questions answered
Can I add other materials to my Catford 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.
How many bags of cement for 1,000 bricks?
At a 1:4 mortar mix, about 8 to 9 bags of 25 kg cement and roughly 1 tonne of building sand, allowing for waste.
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.

Yes. We deliver across Catford, including SE6, SE23, SE4, SE13. Catford is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.
