Delivery to Gwent: what helps

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 Gwent.

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around NP are priced to the exact address.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Getting the right 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.

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.
