Delivery to Halifax: what helps
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Halifax is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

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.
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.
