Where can I obtain a very small quantity of sand and cement, just
enough to level a single patio slab, which is about 5mm proud in one

B&Q.

£3:48 for a 5 kilo ready mixed bag.

I need only about 1/2 kilo. About as much as a small bag of sugar.

MM


you have no idea really?

1/2 a kilo will make about a fistful of mortar - IOW enough to do bugger
all with- whatever's changed under your paving slab, one fistful of
mortar is going to make F all difference..

spend the 3.50 FFS

I'm tempted to post him a handful....

Does MM subscribe to Fenland Freegle? There's someone, also in Spalding,
trying to give away 20 tons of sand at the moment - you could ask him
for a cupful. He says he's prepared to load it.
