Planning the drop in Gloucester

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• On busy streets in Gloucester, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

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

Things to check before you order

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.

Your questions answered

Can I add other materials to my Gloucester delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from cement to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

How many bags of cement in a cubic metre of concrete?

For a 1:5 cement to all-in ballast mix, roughly 15 bags of 25 kg cement per cubic metre. Our concrete calculator gives the full list.

Can you deliver cement to a site with restricted access in Gloucester?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

What is the difference between cement and concrete?

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