General Purpose Mortar is a convenient bagged mix for brick and block laying, pointing, patching and general repairs. Each 20kg bag contains all the dry materials required—simply add water and mix. Factory-produced for consistent quality, it can be mixed by hand or with a traditional mechanical mixer.
General Purpose Mortar provides a straightforward solution for everyday masonry work and maintenance. Supplied in convenient 20kg bags, it contains all the dry materials needed to prepare your mortar, removing the need to measure out separate ingredients.
Simply add water and mix according to the instructions on the bag.
Follow the instructions on the packaging for water quantities, mixing and application. Choose a preparation method suitable for your project and check the manufacturer’s guidance before use.

For best results, use a mechanical mixer. Add the bag contents, followed by approximately 3–4 litres of water, and mix continuously for 3–4 minutes until the required consistency is achieved.
Avoid overmixing, as this can reduce the mortar’s strength and durability. Additional dry materials should not be added.
For pointing, ensure the mortar has a consistent stiffness before application to help reduce colour variations. Protect newly placed mortar from the weather until fully hardened.
Store unopened bags in cool, dry conditions, raised off the ground on a pallet or shelf and protected from wind and rain.
Read the Product Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet before use for full mixing, application, storage and safe handling guidance.
The MudMixer is a continuous-feed concrete mixer designed to mix bagged concrete, mortar and other cement-based materials quickly and consistently. Unlike traditional drum mixers, it continuously mixes material as you work, helping reduce downtime and increase productivity on site.
The name MudMixer comes from the construction industry’s long-standing use of the word mud to describe materials such as mortar, concrete, cement mixes and other wet construction products. While “mud” isn’t literally soil or earth, it’s a common term used by builders and tradespeople, particularly in North America, to refer to mixed cement-based materials.
Despite its name, the MudMixer isn’t designed for mixing soil or clay. It’s engineered to continuously mix a wide range of bagged construction materials, including concrete, mortar and sand-and-cement mixes, delivering a consistent, high-quality mix directly where you need it.
The name reflects the machine’s original roots, but its performance makes it an ideal solution for professional builders, landscapers, groundworkers, fencing contractors and anyone looking to mix concrete or mortar faster and more efficiently.
Simply load bagged material into the hopper, adjust the integrated water supply and the MudMixer continuously produces mixed material as required. There’s no need to stop and reload after every batch, making it significantly faster than conventional drum mixers.
The MudMixer is suitable for most pre-bagged:
* Concrete
* Mortar
* Sand and cement mixes
* Floor screeds (where manufacturer recommendations allow)
* Other cement-based bagged products
Always follow the material manufacturer’s guidance and ensure the product is suitable for continuous mixing.
While experienced DIY users can benefit from the MudMixer, it has been designed primarily for professional contractors, builders, landscapers, groundworkers and civil engineering teams who regularly work with bagged materials.
The MudMixer can process over 80 standard bags per hour under optimum working conditions, allowing you to keep working without the stop-start delays of traditional batch mixing.

Yes. The integrated adjustable water system helps deliver a consistent mix throughout the job, reducing waste and improving quality.
Yes. The MudMixer is designed so that one operator can efficiently mix material, allowing other team members to focus on laying, finishing, or other site activities.
Yes. Because the MudMixer continuously mixes material rather than producing individual batches, it can dramatically reduce mixing time and improve on-site productivity.
The MudMixer is perfect for:
* Garden rooms
* House extensions
* Foundations
* Footings
* Fence post installation
* Landscaping
* Patios
* Paths
* Kerbing
* Repairs
* Utility works
* Small civil engineering projects
It’s particularly useful where ready-mix wagons cannot access the work area.
Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of the MudMixer is its portability. It can be wheeled into gardens, back gardens, alleyways and restricted-access sites where concrete wagons cannot reach.
The UK MudMixer operates from a standard 230V mains supply. Always use the correct power source and suitable extension leads for site conditions.
The MudMixer performs best when connected to a consistent water supply via hose, allowing the integrated water system to maintain the correct mix throughout operation.
Yes. Its robust wheeled design makes it easy to move around site and transport between jobs in a suitable van or trailer.
A MudMixer offers several advantages:
* Continuous mixing
* Less downtime
* Increased productivity
* Reduced labour requirements
* Consistent material quality
* Faster completion of jobs
For many contractors, the productivity gains can quickly offset the initial investment.
