Delivering cement in Wellington

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Wellington 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.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• On busy streets in Wellington, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Choosing cement

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.
