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.

Working in cold weather

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

Getting cement onto your Felixstowe site

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

• In summer Felixstowe gets around 16h 44m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
