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.

Estimating your bagged concrete and mortar

Setting 10 fence posts in St Albans 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

Planning the drop in St Albans

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

  • On busy streets in St Albans, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around AL1 are priced to the exact address.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Your questions answered

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.

Do you deliver bagged concrete and mortar to St Albans?

Yes. We deliver across St Albans, including AL1, AL3, AL2, AL4. St Albans is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

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

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.
