Delivery to Moray: what helps

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Across most of Moray, deliveries are quoted individually because of the distance and access.

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around IV are priced to the exact address.

Things to check before you order

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.

Working in cold weather

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