Pete Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Just playing the builder's merchants against one another and TP said they would not use Hanson cement as it is a load of rubbish. This was after another local merchant could provide this at a saving of 90p a bag as opposed to using Blue Circle. Just wondered what the brickies thought of this and does it really matter as I have used both in the past and never really noticed any difference.
bassanclan Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 The Hanson Castle multicem has got some plasticiser already in it to make it easier to use. I would prefer Hanson Castle Multi to Blue Circle if they were a similar price. I avoid Quinn cement. You could get Blue Circle cement from Wickes for £3.19+vat (trade discount & you buy 3), so I would want a decent discount if I was buying a lot more.
PeterW Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 We've used Hanson Multicem and it's been great - plastic bags you can keep outdoors and even when they get a puncture it doesn't seem to set as bad as the old paper bags did.
Construction Channel Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 AFAIC cement comes in grey or white. Never found a need to worry about brand
