  • On busy streets in Highbury, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • In summer Highbury gets around 16h 39m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Cement: choosing well

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.

Cement in Highbury: questions

How soon can cement be delivered in Highbury?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

How many bags of cement in a cubic metre of concrete?

For a 1:5 cement to all-in ballast mix, roughly 15 bags of 25 kg cement per cubic metre. Our concrete calculator gives the full list.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Highbury?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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.
