Things to check before you order

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.

Sizing your order

Laying 3,000 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 26 bags of 25 kg cement and 2.81 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator

Planning the drop in Monifieth

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

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• In summer Monifieth gets around 17h 45m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
