How delivery works in Leyland

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

• On busy streets in Leyland, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• In summer Leyland gets around 17h 05m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Choosing 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.

Quantities: a worked example

Laying 2,500 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 22 bags of 25 kg cement and 2.34 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator
