Before your Didcot delivery arrives
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Didcot is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Cement: choosing well
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.
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.
Cement in Didcot: questions
How soon can cement be delivered in Didcot?
We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
How long does cement keep?
Bagged cement has a use-by date printed on the bag; it lasts only if it is kept completely dry.
Can I add other materials to my Didcot 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.
What is the difference between cement and concrete?
Cement is the binder. Concrete is cement mixed with sand, aggregate and water.
