Cement: choosing well

Storage

Working in cold weather

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

Delivery to Ipswich: what helps

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around IP1 are priced to the exact address.
• On busy streets in Ipswich, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Ordering cement for Ipswich: FAQs

Do you deliver cement to trades and homeowners in Ipswich?

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

What is the difference between cement and concrete?

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

How soon can cement be delivered in Ipswich?

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.

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.
