Planning the drop in Folkestone

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

• On busy streets in Folkestone, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Before you order cement

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.

Working in cold weather

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

Quantities: a worked example

Laying 2,500 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 22 bags of 25 kg cement and 2.34 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator

Your questions answered

How soon can cement be delivered in Folkestone?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Folkestone?

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.

What is the difference between cement and concrete?

Cement is the binder. Concrete is cement mixed with sand, aggregate and water.

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.
