• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Bagged Concrete & Mortar Mixes in Musselburgh: questions

When should I use ready-mixed concrete instead?

Once you need more than about half a cubic metre, mixing from bags gets slow and costly; ballast and cement or ready-mixed concrete usually make more sense.

Do you deliver bagged concrete and mortar to trades and homeowners in Musselburgh?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Can you deliver bagged concrete and mortar to a site with restricted access in Musselburgh?

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.

Is bagged concrete strong enough for a shed base?

For a small base it can be. Follow the bag's guidance on depth and the shed maker's base requirements.
