Everything you need to know about Hanson Sand Cement Mortar
Overview
What Is Sand Cement Mortar?
Sand cement mortar comes with the sand and cement already blended, so you only add water. This page lists the Heidelberg Materials Sand Cement Mortar 20kg. The product itself carries the Heidelberg Materials name, while this page uses the Hanson name; check the bag for the brand and details.
Jobs It Suits

- Garden walls and planters in brick

- Bedding copings and sills on small jobs
How Many Bags Do I Need?
Assumptions: standard 215 x 102.5 x 65mm bricks and 440 x 215 x 100mm blocks with 10mm joints; about 60 bricks or 10 blocks per m² (9.88 rounded up) in a single skin wall. Published guidance from the Mineral Products Association (Mortar Data Sheet 1) puts mortar use at about 1 tonne per 1,000 bricks, or per 600 blocks of 440 x 215 x 100mm (450 x 225mm including joints). That works out at about 20 bricks or 12 blocks per 20kg bag of ready mixed mortar. Water added on mixing gives a little more than 20kg of mortar, so this errs on the side of having some spare. If the bag states its own coverage, use that. Each figure before waste is rounded up, then multiplied by 1.1 and rounded up again.
| Job | Bricks or blocks | Bags before waste | Bags with 10% added for waste |
|---|---|---|---|
| Block wall 8m², single skin | 80 blocks | 7 (6.7 rounded up) | 8 |
| Brick planter, 120 bricks | 120 bricks | 6 | 7 |
| Shed base wall, 4 courses on a 12m run | 107 blocks (12m / 0.45m = 26.7 per course, x 4, rounded up) | 9 (8.9 rounded up) | 10 |
These are general guidance figures, not measured for this product.
Using It Well
- Add water as the bag directs and mix until even and workable.
- Mix small batches you can use before they stiffen.
- Keep bags dry and off the ground until needed.
