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.

Quantities: a worked example

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
