Cement: choosing well

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.

Working in cold weather

Mortar and concrete should not be laid when temperatures are near freezing. Protect fresh work from frost.

Working out quantities for your Heywood job

Getting cement onto your Heywood site

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Heywood 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.
• 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.

Questions about cement delivery in Heywood

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

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.

What is the difference between cement and concrete?

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

Do you deliver cement to trades and homeowners in Heywood?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Do you sell cement by the pallet?

Yes. Full pallets make sense for bigger jobs; for smaller quantities bags travel with the rest of your order.
