Getting the right cement

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.

Estimating your cement

Laying 3,000 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 26 bags of 25 kg cement and 2.81 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator

Questions about cement delivery in Newton Mearns

Can I add other materials to my Newton Mearns delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from cement to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

How long does cement keep?

Bagged cement has a use-by date printed on the bag; it lasts only if it is kept completely dry.

Do you sell cement by the pallet?

Yes. Full pallets make sense for bigger jobs; for smaller quantities bags travel with the rest of your order.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Newton Mearns?

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.
