Before you order 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.

Planning the drop in Hawick

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

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around TD9 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.

A quick quantity check

Laying 750 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 7 bags of 25 kg cement and 0.7 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator

Ordering cement for Hawick: FAQs

How long does cement keep?

Bagged cement has a use-by date printed on the bag; it lasts only if it is kept completely dry.

What is the difference between cement and concrete?

Cement is the binder. Concrete is cement mixed with sand, aggregate and water.

Can I add other materials to my Hawick delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from cement to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Can you deliver cement to a site with restricted access in Hawick?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
