Getting cement onto your Stoke-on-Trent site

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• In summer Stoke-on-Trent gets around 16h 56m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Picking the right product

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.

Cement questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Stoke-on-Trent?

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.

How long does cement keep?

Bagged cement has a use-by date printed on the bag; it lasts only if it is kept completely dry.

Can you deliver cement to a site with restricted access in Stoke-on-Trent?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

What is the difference between cement and concrete?

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