What areas do you deliver to?
We easily serve Central Scotland but on many materials, we have the facility to deliver UK wide – Call your nearest branch to confirm delivery availability and lead times for your location.
Do you offer a Blue Light Card Discount?
Yes – we are proud to support our local NHS, emergency services, and social care workers. We offer a 10% discount on selected in-stock retail items when you present a valid Blue Light Card at our Lochgelly or Denny sales counters before purchase.
Delivery & Ordering (Non-Account Customers)
Can I order online if I do not have a trade account?
Yes — if you do not hold a trade account with us, you can still place orders via our website. All online orders are processed as cash sales, and we welcome pre-payments as well as all major card payments.
How does the online ordering process work?
Once you have filled out and submitted our online order form, our workflow follows three simple steps:
- Order Review: A member of our team will manually review your order details.
- Confirmation Call: We will get in touch with you directly to confirm your delivery date, finalize any applicable delivery charges, and take your payment.
- Dispatch: Your goods will be safely dispatched once your payment has been processed and cleared.
What are your standard delivery charges?
Delivery fees are calculated based on your total order value (including VAT) and the distance from our nearest depot in Lochgelly or Denny. Our standard delivery tiers are structured as follows:

Can I get a bespoke delivery quote?
Absolutely. For any orders falling entirely outside our standard delivery zones, or for specific low-value orders placed within our extended mileage bands, our team will calculate a tailored delivery quote during your order confirmation call. This ensures we provide the most efficient and cost-effective transportation solution for your specific site location.
Fibo Collect Service
What is Fibo Collect?
Fibo Collect is Scotland’s first drive-thru automated concrete, mortar, and screed collection station, located at Cartmore’s Lochgelly branch. Using state-of-the-art automated batching technology, you can collect precisely the amount of material you need — starting from as little as 0.25m3 — with no minimum order charges, no advance booking required, and no on-site mixing hassle. The machine produces up to 12m3 per hour, with a typical 0.8m3 cycle taking around 4 minutes.
What mixes are available from Fibo Collect?
Around 45 pre-programmed recipes are available covering concrete, mortar, and screed for everyday construction use. Bespoke recipes can also be pre-programmed on request. Mortar is available with retarder and air entrainer additives, giving extended workability of up to 3 days (sold as 1-day, 2-day, or 3-day mortar). For pricing and recipe enquiries email sales@cartmore.com.
How do I use the Fibo Collect station?
- Place your order at the Lochgelly branch — in person or by phone on 01592 781800 — advising staff of the mix and quantity required.
- Come into our Sales Office at Lochgelly and you’ll receive a unique barcode and invoice.
- Head down to the Fibo Collect terminal in our yard, position your vehicle or tub under the conveyor, and scan your barcode to confirm the order.
- The machine mixes and dispenses your material — under 5 minutes for loads under 0.8m3.
Material can be collected loose onto a trailer, flatbed, or pickup, or poured into 0.25m3 forklift tubs. A pre-order service is available if you’d like material ready on arrival; however, this must be paid at the time of order.
Does Cartmore deliver Fibo Collect material?
Yes — a tub delivery service is available for concrete, mortar, and screed. Retarded mortar can travel further afield due to its extended workability. Call 01592 781800 or email sales@cartmore.com for delivery pricing and availability.
What does a Fibo Collect tub cost?
The concrete, screed or mortar you require will be priced individually and if you need it in one of our tubs – that’s not a problem.
Our tubs cost £80 plus VAT, but you will receive a refund or credit of £60.00 plus VAT when you return your tub, clean and in good condition. You’re also welcome to use your own tubs. A forklift is on the premises to help load onto vehicles. Our standard tub dimensions are 1170mm × 760mm × 560mm (250 litres). Always check payload limits before loading — a standard mortar mix weighs around 400kg per tub, and C10 concrete around 550kg.
