Paving Bedding Mortar is a fine bedding mortar for stone, clay, concrete and porcelain paving. Supplied in 20kg bags, it is suitable for domestic patios, paths, commercial paving and public realm projects. Apply in layers of 10–100mm per pass, with typical compressive strength exceeding 35 N/mm² after 28 days.
Paving Bedding Mortar combines selected sands, cements and additives to create a strong bedding layer for rigid, bound paving construction.
Suitable for stone, clay, concrete and porcelain paving units, it can be used for domestic, commercial and public realm projects. Its performance supports pedestrian and vehicular applications where the complete paving construction is designed for the intended loads.

Use a mechanical mixing method, such as a suitable slow-speed, high-torque drill and mixing paddle. Follow the water quantity confirmed on the packaging or by technical support.
Mix for at least 3 minutes until a uniform consistency suitable for the application is achieved. Mixing too wet or too dry will impair performance.
Use within 60 minutes of mixing. Do not add water to revive mortar that has begun to set.
The base must be stable, structurally adequate for the intended traffic, and free from loose material, oil, grease and other contamination.
Pre-soak the base and remove any standing water. Applying a compatible priming slurry to the base is recommended to improve bonding. Where used, lay the mortar wet-on-wet onto the freshly applied slurry.
Apply the mortar at a thickness of 10–100mm per pass. Prime the underside of each paving unit with a compatible priming slurry immediately before placing it onto the mortar bed and tapping it level. Priming the underside is essential to achieve sufficient bond.
Allow at least 12 hours before light foot traffic and 1–2 days before vehicular traffic, depending on site conditions.
Do not use below 5°C or where ground frost is present or expected overnight. Follow the Product Data Sheet and project specification for the complete paving system.
Store unopened bags in cool, dry conditions, raised off the ground on a pallet or shelf and protected from wind and rain.
Follow the safety instructions on the packaging before handling or using this product.
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.
