I've always bought any materials I need from TP at Cleator Moor, but will not be using this product. Since they changed over a few months back from Blue Circle to Hanson the ready mixed mortar is nowhere near as good quality, this Hanson version of it is very hit and miss between bags as to whether it's got the correct mix of sand/cement in it. Some bags are perfect and others are very sandy and anything laid with them has to be re-done when it dries due to it crumbling.
