Before you order bagged concrete and mortar

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.

Getting bagged concrete and mortar onto your Selkirk site

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Estimating your bagged concrete and mortar

Setting 10 fence posts in Selkirk 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

Bagged Concrete & Mortar Mixes in Selkirk: questions

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

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.

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

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

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.
