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.

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.

Sizing your order

Laying 1,250 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 11 bags of 25 kg cement and 1.17 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator

Delivery to Ely: what helps

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

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Cement in Ely: questions

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Ely?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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.

Do you deliver cement to trades and homeowners in Ely?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
