Cement: choosing well

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.

Planning the drop in Wigan

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around WN1 are priced to the exact address.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
