Choosing cement
Working in cold weather
Mortar and concrete should not be laid when temperatures are near freezing. Protect fresh work from frost.
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 out quantities for your Hitchin job
Laying 750 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 7 bags of 25 kg cement and 0.7 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator
Before your Hitchin delivery arrives
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Hitchin is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
