Before your Telford delivery arrives

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

  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Picking the right product

Working in cold weather

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

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.

A quick quantity check

Laying 750 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 7 bags of 25 kg cement and 0.7 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator

Cement in Telford: questions

What is the difference between cement and concrete?

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

Can you deliver cement to a site with restricted access in Telford?

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.

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.

How soon can cement be delivered in Telford?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
