Delivering bagged concrete and mortar in Swadlincote

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Bagged Concrete & Mortar Mixes: choosing well

Post mix quantities

Most makers say how many bags per post; it depends on the hole size.

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.

Working out quantities for your Swadlincote job

Setting 20 fence posts in Swadlincote 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

Bagged Concrete & Mortar Mixes in Swadlincote: questions

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.

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Swadlincote?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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

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