Choosing 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.

Delivery to Fort William: what helps

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

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• On busy streets in Fort William, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
