Planning the drop in Halewood
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Halewood is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

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.
