Getting the right cement

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.

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.

A quick quantity check

Laying 1,000 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 9 bags of 25 kg cement and 0.94 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator

Planning the drop in Arbroath

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

  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Cement in Arbroath: questions

Do you sell cement by the pallet?

Yes. Full pallets make sense for bigger jobs; for smaller quantities bags travel with the rest of your order.

What is the difference between cement and concrete?

Cement is the binder. Concrete is cement mixed with sand, aggregate and water.
