Delivery to Melton Mowbray: what helps

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around LE13 are priced to the exact address.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Getting the right cement

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.

A quick quantity check

Laying 1,500 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 13 bags of 25 kg cement and 1.4 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator
