Planning the drop in Gloucestershire

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Gloucestershire.

• On busy streets in Gloucestershire, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around GL are priced to the exact address.

Things to check before you order

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.

Cement questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Gloucestershire?

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.

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.

How many bags of cement for 1,000 bricks?

At a 1:4 mortar mix, about 8 to 9 bags of 25 kg cement and roughly 1 tonne of building sand, allowing for waste.

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

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.
