Choosing cement

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.

Sizing your order

Laying 1,250 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 11 bags of 25 kg cement and 1.17 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator

• With roughly 6h 40m of daylight in Aberdeen around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
