Getting the right bagged concrete and mortar

Check the yield

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

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.

Getting bagged concrete and mortar onto your Nelson site

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

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
