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.
Getting cement onto your Hoddesdon site
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Hoddesdon is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- In summer Hoddesdon gets around 16h 41m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
