Getting cement onto your Cowdenbeath site

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
