Choosing cement

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.

Getting cement onto your Retford site

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around DN22 are priced to the exact address.
• With roughly 7h 30m of daylight in Retford around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
