That would be telling!
MORTAR
We can supply mortar with an 8 or 36 hour retarder. Mortar should be kept covered until used to protect it from the elements.
0.33 M3, therefore 3 tubs equals 1 M3.
* These figures are assuming a 10mm joint and are only an indication and in practice they may vary widely, depending on joint thickness and amount of wastage.
Refer to our Quantity Guidelines Table or call our Sales team to help calculate how much mortar you would require.
Mortar can be delivered in various ways.
You can purchase a robust mortar tub from RTU and have it filled with mortar on site. This tub can be returned if in good condition, for a 90% refund - a small collection charge is applicable. Alternatively you can have the mortar delivered in a large disposable plastic bag.
Approx 1500kg or 1.5tons
COLOURED MORTAR

Please contact us to enquire about your options for coloured mortar. We have a Coloured Sample Kit in house to help you make that perfect match.
PLASTER
Plaster is normally retarded for 8 hours however this varies on weather conditions.
This is dependant on thickness. At 10mm, 1M3 of plaster will cover 100M2.
Yes. Contact our Technical team for more information.
Yes, We have a wide range of colours available. Contact our Sales team for more advice.
Approx 1600kg or 1.6 tons.
CONCRETE
This can vary on the type of job you are doing. Contact our Sales team for more advice on the different strengths and types of concrete available.
Contact our Sales team to help calculate how much concrete you would require.
We deliver from 0.4M3 and upwards.
Yes you can collect from our depot. (see contact us for directions)
Yes. We have a wide range of colours available. Contact our Sales team for more advice.
No. However we can supply you with contact details of layers.

Depending upon the distance that your delivery address is from our depot, you will have approximately 1.5 hrs to have the concrete put in place. This will vary depending on climate conditions - the warmer the temperature the faster the concrete will harden.
Concrete should not be reworked after initial setting has taken place.
Approx 2300kg or 2.3 tons.
FLOOR SCREED
This can vary on the type of job you are doing. Contact our Sales team for more advice on the different strengths and types of floor screed available.

Sand and cement floor screed is delivered in a tipper lorry, at an additional cost it can be delivered in tubs, if requested.
Approx 2000kg or 2.0 tons.
ULTRAFLO
With under floor Heating:
We recommend a minimum of 30mm cover over the underfloor heating pipes. With typical under floor heating pipes being 16-20mm diameter, the recommended depth for ultraflo with underfloor heating is 50mm.
On floating floor with insulation:
We recommend a minimum depth of 40mm.
Unbonded with no insulation:
We recommend a minimum depth of 30mm
Note: Ultraflo can be laid at greater depths than indicated above. However laying at greater depths will take longer to dry and increase the weight of the floor.
The drying time for ultraflo, is 1mm per day up to 40mm with ambient conditions at 20oC and 65%RH.
(i.e. 35mm depth will take 35days to dry) When ultraflo is poured over underfloor heating, the heating circuits can be turned on to a low heat of 20°C, 7 days after the pour and gradually increased by 5°C per day. This will help decrease the drying time.
If you have any further questions on this matter, please contact our technical department.
The density of ultraflo is approx 2000kg/m3, so poured at 35mm depth the weight would be 70kg/m2. Poured at 50mm depth the weight would be 100kg/m2
Ultraflo is ideal for use with under floor heating systems because it is a self-compacting screed that flows to fully encapsulate underfloor pipes and reduces the potential for air bubbles/pockets which have an adverse affect on heat transfer. Due to the decreased depth of screed required, less mass needs to be heated, thus the reaction time of the heating system is reduced.
Due to the reduced thickness required with ultraflo, it is ideal for use on the upper floors as the weight is greatly reduced. This is true for timberframe constructions also.
Like all screeds, ultraflo is not intended as a wearing surface. Once dry, it may be covered with tiles, wooden floors, carpet and most other floor surfaces.
Any area which is likely to be constantly wet, e.g. Around swimming pools, saunas, steam rooms.
Ultraflo can be used in domestic bathrooms
Before pouring ultraflo the building should be fully enclosed with all windows and doors installed. It is recommended that ultraflo is poured once all internal plastering is completed.
It's important to remember that ultraflo is a liquid; therefore it will flow into any gaps or voids. It is also essential that the water is contained within the product in order for it to cure properly. Therefore, preparation with a plastic membrane is vital.
All insulation must be below the plastic membrane and all pipes secured every 600mm, any debris cleared off the floor and any loose material will float.
See our preparation guide for more detailed instructions
Ultraflo is only supplied to competent self levelling floor screed layers; we can offer a supply and lay package - contact our Sales team for further information.
Ultraflo is mixed at our batching plant and delivered in a readymix truck; it is then poured into a liquid screed pump, which is pumped through a flexible pipe to each room.
