Picking the right product

Bagged or site-mixed?

Bagged mixes cost more per cubic metre but save time, waste and space. For anything bigger than a small pad, site-mixed or ready-mixed concrete is usually better value.

Check the yield

Each bag states the volume it makes. Divide your volume by the yield to get the number of bags.

Delivering bagged concrete and mortar in Bedford

Bags come on a pallet or with a mixed load. Bedford is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Estimating your bagged concrete and mortar

Setting 6 fence posts in Bedford usually takes 6 to 12 bags of 20 kg post mix, depending on the hole size printed on the bag. For a base bigger than about half a cubic metre, all-in ballast and cement are usually better value. Compare with site-mixed concrete

Ordering bagged concrete and mortar for Bedford: FAQs

Can I add other materials to my Bedford delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from bagged concrete and mortar to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Do you deliver bagged concrete and mortar to trades and homeowners in Bedford?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

How many bags of post mix per post?

Usually one or two 20 kg bags per standard fence post, depending on the hole size. The bag will state the recommended amount.

When should I use ready-mixed concrete instead?

Once you need more than about half a cubic metre, mixing from bags gets slow and costly; ballast and cement or ready-mixed concrete usually make more sense.
