Choosing 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.
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 1,000 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
Delivery to Bracknell: what helps
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Bracknell is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- In summer Bracknell gets around 16h 37m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
