How much will you need?

Setting 6 fence posts in Braintree 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

Before your Braintree delivery arrives

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

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• On busy streets in Braintree, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Picking the right product

Post mix quantities

Most makers say how many bags per post; it depends on the hole size.

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.

Bagged Concrete & Mortar Mixes questions

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

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

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

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.

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.

How much does one bag of concrete make?

The yield is on the bag. As a rough guide a 20 to 25 kg bag makes about 0.01 cubic metres of concrete.
