Choosing 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 Sunderland site

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

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • In summer Sunderland gets around 17h 21m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Sizing your order

Setting 12 fence posts in Sunderland usually takes 12 to 24 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
