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.

Estimating your cement

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

Before your Waterlooville delivery arrives

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around PO7 are priced to the exact address.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
