How delivery works in Peterborough
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Peterborough is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- On busy streets in Peterborough, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
Picking the right product
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.
