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.
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.
Ordering cement for Redruth: FAQs

Cement is the binder. Concrete is cement mixed with sand, aggregate and water.
