High Strength Bedding Mortar is a low-shrinkage mortar for bedding precast concrete units and packing gaps from 10–75mm. Supplied in 20kg bags, it achieves a typical compressive strength of 70 N/mm² after 28 days. Its chloride-free formulation is suitable for use with steel reinforcement, providing structural support without the need for shuttering.
High Strength Bedding Mortar combines selected sands, cements and additives to produce a strong, low-shrinkage mortar for precast installation work. Factory-produced for consistent quality, it can be applied as a bedding layer or packed into existing gaps.
Suitable for application thicknesses of 10–75mm, it provides structural support beneath and between precast concrete units without the need for shuttering.
Structural bedding and gap packing for precast concrete units, including:

|---|---|
| Bag size | 20kg |
| Application thickness | 10–75mm |
| Maximum aggregate size | 3mm |
| Water for dry packing | Approximately 2.4–2.8 litres per 20kg bag |

| Time to use | Within 30 minutes of mixing |
| Yield per bag | Approximately 10.5 litres |
| Typical compressive strength at 24 hours | 30 N/mm² |
| Typical compressive strength at 7 days | 50 N/mm² |
| Typical compressive strength at 28 days | 70 N/mm² |
| Typical flexural strength at 28 days | 10 N/mm² |
| Chloride content | Less than 0.1% |
| Fire classification | Class A1 |
Use a mechanical mixing method, such as a slow-speed drill and paddle or a forced-action mixer.
For dry packing, add approximately 2.4–2.8 litres of water per 20kg bag. Up to 3.3 litres may be used where a more workable mortar is required. Mix for at least 3 minutes until a uniform consistency is achieved.
Use the mixed mortar within 30 minutes. Do not add further water to revive mortar that has begun to set.
Surfaces must be clean and free from contamination. For best results, mechanically roughen the surfaces, then saturate with clean water and remove any standing water.
Apply a uniform mortar bed before lowering the precast unit into place, or pack the mortar into existing gaps using a suitable tool. Fully compact the mortar to achieve complete bedding.
Allow the mortar to stiffen before finishing flush with a damp trowel. Protect exposed mortar with an appropriate curing membrane, damp hessian or polythene.
Do not use below 5°C or where ground frost is present or expected overnight. Below 10°C, allow extra time before removing supports or applying further loads. Protect against rapid drying caused by strong sunlight or drying winds.
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. See the full MudMixer specifications or use our Concrete Calculator to estimate the material required for your next project.
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.
