Planning the drop in Esher

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

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• In summer Esher gets around 16h 37m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

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.
