Getting the right cement
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.
Working in cold weather
Mortar and concrete should not be laid when temperatures are near freezing. Protect fresh work from frost.
Planning the drop in Leigh
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Leigh is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- With roughly 7h 28m of daylight in Leigh around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
