Preparing, pouring, and maintaining concrete depends on the application. View our guides below to learn how to carry out your next domestic project effectively.
To calculate the amount of concrete you need, multiply the length, width, and depth of the area it’s being installed in meters to work out the volume in cubic metres. Use our ready-mix concrete calculator below.
Ready-mixed concrete is pre-mixed and delivered for large projects, ensuring consistent quality. Bagged concrete is a dry mix designed for smaller DIY projects and requires mixing with water on-site. Our range of packed products including bagged concrete, can be purchased directly from a range of builder’s merchants across the country.
Concrete typically sets within 24-48 hours for light foot traffic but takes 28 days to fully cure and reach maximum strength. During this period, protect the surface from rain, freezing, or excessive drying. Learn how to prepare for a concrete pour with our guide.
Always avoid pouring during extreme weather to ensure the best appearance and durability. Hot weather can cause cracking due to rapid drying while freezing temperatures can weaken the concrete. Ideally, pour when temperatures are between 10°C and 25°C.
For small projects like paths or patios, reinforcement may not be necessary. For driveways or structural applications, add reinforcement like steel mesh or rebar to improve durability.
