Bagged Concrete & Mortar Mixes: choosing well

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.

How much will you need?

Setting 20 fence posts in Harpenden usually takes 20 to 40 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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• In summer Harpenden gets around 16h 42m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Ordering bagged concrete and mortar for Harpenden: FAQs

Can I add other materials to my Harpenden 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.

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.

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.
