Delivery to Newton Abbot: what helps
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Newton Abbot is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- On busy streets in Newton Abbot, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
Cement: choosing well
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.
Quantities: a worked example
Laying 500 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 5 bags of 25 kg cement and 0.47 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator
