Mortar

[danoid]

The top of our wall has taken a battering in the winds lately, to be honest it was broken anyway but winds pushed it over.

I’d like to repair this myself and the tops of my mini wall slate as they’ve come lose.

I had a look online and Blue Circle mortar appears good enough for my lazy need of ready mixed mortar.

There’s two though Blue Circle Mortar and Blue Circle Quality Assured Mortar, will either of them work for my need?

Thanks

Anyone?

The quality assured stuff is pre mixed just add water. Other stuff needs aggregate added.

Me again, so finding premixed stuff was impossible during these times, so thought i’d buy sand & cement and do it that way again impossible due to no cement anywhere argh.

Managed to source some from a family member.

For putting the top of the tall wall back, should I go with 6:1 ratio and top of small slate wall go 4:1? The smaller wall gets walked on so I’m guessing a stronger mix would be better.

Thanks
