Getting cement onto your Isle of Wight site

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Deliveries across Isle of Wight need a ferry crossing, so each one is quoted with the crossing included.

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around PO are priced to the exact address.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

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.
