How delivery works in St Albans
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. St Albans is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
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.
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.
Sizing your order
Laying 500 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 5 bags of 25 kg cement and 0.47 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator
