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.

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• With roughly 7h 37m of daylight in Oakham around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
