Before you order 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.

How delivery works in Elgin

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Elgin is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• In summer Elgin gets around 18h 05m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
