Planning the drop in Doncaster

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

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Cement: choosing well

Working in cold weather

Mortar and concrete should not be laid when temperatures are near freezing. Protect fresh work from frost.

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.
