Before you order 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.
Working out quantities for your Islington job
Laying 2,500 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 22 bags of 25 kg cement and 2.34 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator
