Things to check before you order
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.
Working in cold weather
Mortar and concrete should not be laid when temperatures are near freezing. Protect fresh work from frost.
A quick quantity check
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
