• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• In summer Kilwinning gets around 17h 32m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Cement: choosing well

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.

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.
