Cement: choosing well

Working in cold weather

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

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.

Getting cement onto your Long Eaton site

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