How delivery works in Luton

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

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.

How much will you need?

Laying 1,250 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 11 bags of 25 kg cement and 1.17 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator
