Delivering cement in Sale

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around M33 are priced to the exact address.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

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.
