Delivering cement in Scarborough

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

• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
