Before you order cement

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.

Delivery to Great Yarmouth: what helps

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

• On busy streets in Great Yarmouth, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
