Delivering cement in County Londonderry

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
  • On busy streets in County Londonderry, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Before you order 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.
