Bostik Cementone General Purpose Mortar 5kg

I needed to fix a couple of loose bricks on my garden wall and fill a few gaps in the outdoor patio pointing, and this 5kg tub was the absolute perfect size. The beauty of this product is that it's completely pre-mixed; you don't have to worry about buying separate bags of sand and cement or getting the ratios right. You literally just scoop out what you need, mix it with a bit of water in a bucket, and it’s ready to apply. It has a great, workable consistency that grabs well to old masonry, dries to a traditional grey finish, and sets incredibly solid. Ideal for anyone who wants a professional result without the hassle of a massive mixing job.

Really good mortar. I found I needed to add a bit more water than was suggested, which is fine. Mix at the recommended amount of water, if not yet a paste, add a bit more and keep going until you get the perfect paste. Just don't get frustrated and a too much water, take it slow like making a cake batter. It set within 24 hours and fully within 48 - the colour gets lighter as it dries.

Thought i made a mistake buying this when first opened but mixes perfect with no lumps or grainy texture.perfect product

Handy to have around. Does what it says on the tub.

Excellent product and great value for money. The quality exceeded my expectations and it arrived quickly and well packaged. Very easy to use and exactly as described. I’ve been really impressed with the performance so far and would definitely recommend to others. Will happily purchase again in the future

Item works as it should but amazon delivery dropped the box and cracked the tub losing quarter of the mortar over my porch, no point doing a return as its a waste of time doing one for a couple of pounds worth of mortar

Easy to use, just add water. I used this to fill some smallish holes in external brickwork to keep out rodents. I could have bought a bag of sand and cement but this was more conveneient for a small job. 5kg sounds a lot, but it was just enough for a small patching jobs under an outside door (less than 2 inches high x 4 inches deep). If I was doing a large job I would mix my own so the main benefit is convenience. It dries slow enough to fill and skim but was solid after a few hours later.

Easy to use if anything was challenging, it was the mixing part when doing it manually, But applying it to the brick was simple. First, I measured the amount of mortar I needed in a bucket, added water, stirred it till it was like paste, then sprayed the wall with some water and used a trowel and a finger pointer to push the mortar into the joints of the bricks and tried to smooth it as best as I could. It's been about a month since I pointed the bricks; the mortar is waterproof and I've seen a difference in temperature in addition to no longer feeling the breeze come in to the kitchen when it's windy. I would recommend to anyone fixing up or reparing, pro or not & it works for deep filling as well as light
