When it comes to construction. whether you're laying a new patio, mixing up a mortar batch, or tackling a house extension - the materials you choose matter. The difference between using the right blend of sand, cement, and admixtures versus the cheapest thing you can find - is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that cracks, crumbles or stains before the season’s out.
At Click Cement, we believe building should be simple, reliable, and stress-free. That starts with supplying quality materials, from quality sand and cement to specialist admixtures, all delivered quickly and affordably to your site or doorstep.
Whether you're a seasoned pro or getting stuck into a DIY project, here’s what you need to know about choosing better materials, saving money in the long run, and making every job just a little easier.
The Foundation of Every Build: Cement That Stands the Test of Time
Cement is the heartbeat of any build. It’s in the concrete under your feet, the mortar between your bricks, and the screed smoothing your floors. But not all cement is created equal.
Too often, people buy bags of cement based on price alone, not realising the hidden costs of poor quality: weak mixes, inconsistent setting times, and jobs that take longer or fail faster.
We stock only premium-grade 25kg cement bags that meet rigorous strength and consistency standards. Freshly packed and stored correctly, our cement is always ready to perform, whether you’re mixing by hand or batching with a mixer.
Why it matters:
-
Better consistency = predictable mixes
-
Higher strength = longer-lasting results
-
Reliable setting = smoother workflow
If you're ordering weekly or monthly, consider a full pallet of 48 bags to lock in the best prices, save on delivery, and ensure you're always stocked and ready.
Let’s Talk Sand: Which Type Is Right for Your Job?
There’s more than one type of sand, and each has its role to play. From block-laying to rendering, the right sand makes the job easier and the finish more professional. Here’s a quick guide:
Building Sand (Soft Sand)
Ideal for mortar and bricklaying. Its fine texture makes it easy to mix and smooth to apply. Great for general masonry.
Plastering Sand
A cleaner, finer version of building sand used for internal rendering. It produces a smooth finish that’s easy to trowel.
Sharp Sand
A coarser, gritty sand used in concrete mixes, paving, and floor screeds. Its angular particles improve strength and drainage.
Concrete Sand
Similar to sharp sand but with more grading control. Perfect for stronger concrete and laying flags or block paving.
All our sands are available in 25kg bags for small jobs or bulk 750kg bags for larger projects. Order exactly what you need or stock up with a full pallet and make the most of your time on site.
Admixtures: The Secret Weapon for Smarter Mixing
If you’re still mixing your cement and water straight, you’re missing a trick. Admixtures can transform how your mixes perform, especially in less-than-perfect conditions.
We stock Larsen Quality Admixtures that:
-
Improve workability
-
Increase water resistance
-
Reduce shrinkage and cracking
For plastering, patios or exposed concrete, waterproofing agents ensure durability and for jobs where every minute counts, plasticisers improve the flow of your mix without needing extra water.
Best of all? They’re simple to use, cost-effective, and make your cement work harder for you.
TOP TIP - Don't get fooled into these small super concentrates ... The professionals use traditional mixtures for the best consistency. Available in 5L and 25L.

FAQs: Building Smarter With Us
Do I have to buy a full pallet?
Not at all. You can order single bags, half-pallets, or full loads, whatever suits your job.

Yes, with a proper tarp or cover. Our bags are weather-resistant, but it’s always best to keep them off the ground and covered where possible.
