Picking the right product

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

Working out quantities for your Berkhamsted job

Setting 8 fence posts in Berkhamsted usually takes 8 to 16 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

Delivering bagged concrete and mortar in Berkhamsted

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

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Common questions from Berkhamsted

Is bagged concrete strong enough for a shed base?

For a small base it can be. Follow the bag's guidance on depth and the shed maker's base requirements.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Berkhamsted?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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.

Can you deliver bagged concrete and mortar to a site with restricted access in Berkhamsted?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
