Before your Newmarket delivery arrives

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

• On busy streets in Newmarket, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• In summer Newmarket gets around 16h 47m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

How much cement do I need?

Work from the mix: a 1:4 mortar or a 1:5 concrete mix tells you the share of cement. Our calculators turn wall or slab sizes into bags.
