Fresh mortar mixed on-site to the exact ratio your job needs — for bricklaying, blockwork, pointing and rendering. No tubs going off, no waste, and you only pay for what you use.
When you’ve a wall to build or a job to point, the last thing you want is mortar that’s gone stiff in the tub or a gang stood waiting on the mixer. Barrow Mix supplies fresh ready mix mortar across Greater Manchester, Cheshire and the North West — batched on-site by our volumetric wagons to the precise mix your bricklayers need, exactly when they need it.
Because the mortar is mixed fresh at your location rather than pre-batched and delivered, it doesn’t start going off in transit. Your team gets a consistent, workable mortar straight to the spot, and there’s no part-loads or leftover tubs to pay for — you only pay for the mortar you actually use.
Batched at your location by our volumetric wagons — not pre-mixed hours earlier — so it’s workable when it lands and doesn’t go off in transit.
Computer-controlled batching means the same mix ratio, load after load — no hand-gauged variation between barrows, no weak spots.
No minimum drum loads, no leftover tubs. We mix the quantity the job needs and you’re charged for that — nothing wasted.
No site mixing, no bags to haul, no waiting. Fresh mortar to the spot means your bricklayers stay on the wall, not on the mixer.
Mortar is specified by its mix — stronger mixes for exposed or load-bearing work, softer mixes for general brickwork so the mortar, not the brick, takes any movement. Tell us the job and we’ll batch the right mix; as a rough guide:
| Typical mix | Where it’s used |
|---|---|
| Stronger (approx. 1:3–1:4) | Below DPC, engineering brick, exposed walls, copings and retaining work |
| General purpose (approx. 1:4–1:5) | Most external brickwork and blockwork above DPC |
| Softer (approx. 1:5–1:6) | Internal walls, softer/handmade bricks and general non-structural work |

Yes — because we mix volumetrically on site, we batch the quantity the job needs and you pay for that, with no minimum drum load and no leftover tubs going to waste.
It depends on the job — stronger mixes for below DPC, engineering brick and exposed walls; general-purpose for most external brickwork; softer mixes for internal and softer bricks. Tell us what you’re building and we’ll batch the correct mix.
Mortar is a finer mix of sand, cement and water (no coarse stone) used to bond bricks and blocks, point and render. Concrete contains coarse aggregate for strength and is used for slabs, foundations and bases. We supply both, fresh on site. See our ready mix concrete.
