Delivering cement in Swindon

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

• In summer Swindon gets around 16h 39m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• On busy streets in Swindon, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

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.

Working in cold weather

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

Quantities: a worked example
