Before your South Ockendon delivery arrives

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

• In summer South Ockendon gets around 16h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Things to check before you order

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.

Working in cold weather

Mortar and concrete should not be laid when temperatures are near freezing. Protect fresh work from frost.

Sizing your order

Laying 2,500 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 22 bags of 25 kg cement and 2.34 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator

Your questions answered

What is the difference between cement and concrete?

Cement is the binder. Concrete is cement mixed with sand, aggregate and water.

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.

Do you deliver cement to trades and homeowners in South Ockendon?

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

Can I add other materials to my South Ockendon delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from cement to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
