Cement: choosing well
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.
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.
How delivery works in Redhill
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Redhill is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- On busy streets in Redhill, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- In summer Redhill gets around 16h 35m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
