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.

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.

Delivery to Rottingdean: what helps

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

• On busy streets in Rottingdean, 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.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Estimating your cement

Laying 1,500 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 13 bags of 25 kg cement and 1.4 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator

Cement in Rottingdean: questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Rottingdean?

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.

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.

How many bags of cement for 1,000 bricks?

At a 1:4 mortar mix, about 8 to 9 bags of 25 kg cement and roughly 1 tonne of building sand, allowing for waste.

Do you deliver cement to trades and homeowners in Rottingdean?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
