Getting the right 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.

Before your Yate delivery arrives

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

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Sizing your order

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
