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.

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.

Estimating your cement

Laying 1,500 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 13 bags of 25 kg cement and 1.4 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator
