How delivery works in Letchworth Garden City

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Choosing cement

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.

Working in cold weather

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

Cement questions

Yes. Full pallets make sense for bigger jobs; for smaller quantities bags travel with the rest of your order.
