Cement: choosing well

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.

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.

How much will you need?

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

Getting cement onto your Urmston site

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Urmston is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• In summer Urmston gets around 17h 02m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

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