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.

Getting cement onto your Musselburgh site

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

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• On busy streets in Musselburgh, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
