Picking the right product
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.
Planning the drop in North Shields
Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. North Shields is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
A quick quantity check
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
