Picking the right product

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.

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.

Getting cement onto your Hailsham site

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

• 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 BN27 are priced to the exact address.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Working out quantities for your Hailsham job
