Delivering cement in Liverpool
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Liverpool is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
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.
