Cement: choosing well

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.

Delivering cement in Peterhead

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

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• In summer Peterhead gets around 18h 02m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
