Getting cement onto your Nairn site

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Nairn is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• With roughly 6h 34m of daylight in Nairn around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Nairn?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
