Picking the right product

Post mix quantities

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

Check the yield

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

How much will you need?

Setting 10 fence posts in Dunstable usually takes 10 to 20 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 Dunstable delivery arrives

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

  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around LU6 are priced to the exact address.

Bagged Concrete & Mortar Mixes questions

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

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 Dunstable?

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.

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.
