Cement & Lime

Cement and lime form the foundation of virtually every masonry and construction project, from laying bricks and blocks to rendering walls and setting structural elements. At McMahons, we stock a comprehensive selection of cement and lime products from trusted manufacturers, ensuring you have the right binding materials for durable, long-lasting results on any job site.

Our Cement & Lime Product Range

We supply essential binding materials suited to both traditional and modern construction methods:

• General purpose Portland cement for standard concrete mixes, mortars, and screeds, the go-to choice for most building applications.
• Rapid-setting cement for time-critical repairs and cold weather working, achieving strength faster than conventional alternatives.
• White cement for decorative finishes, pointing, and applications where colour consistency matters.
• Hydrated lime for traditional lime mortars, improving workability and allowing masonry to breathe, essential for period properties and conservation work.
• Hydraulic lime for structural applications requiring both flexibility and water resistance, setting through chemical reaction rather than air drying.
• Bagged cement in various sizes from 25kg bags for smaller jobs to bulk options for larger projects.

Pair your binding materials with our Sand & Ballast and Aggregates to create the perfect mix for your specific application.

Selecting the appropriate product depends on your application, exposure conditions, and required setting time. Portland cement suits most general construction, while lime-based products offer superior breathability for older buildings with solid walls. For coloured mortars or specialised finishes, explore our Cement Dyes & Additives range.
