agent will be maintained.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Professional Grade Cement should not be mixed with additions or other cement types.
Professional Grade Cement may be used in the range of traditional nominal mixes as for traditional
Portland Cement.
To achieve optimum performance from Professional Grade Cement in concrete or other products, it is
essential that it is correctly specified and used.
As with other cements in building work, there is no substitute for good practice and workmanship. It is
essential to use the correct materials, proportion and mix the materials properly, add the correct amount
of water, compact, cure and protect as appropriate.
Normal hot and cold weather practice should also be followed.
The final finish quality of this material will depend upon the operative having the required skills and a
familiarity with the material and its application methods. Hope Cement cannot be held responsible where
workmanship has not been carried out in accordance with good practice.
Manual handling should comply with The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.

Sand Cement Screed is easy to prepare, use and store and the
perfect solution when you’re working on an interior for a domestic
or light commercial application.
APPLICATIONS
Sand Cement Screed is suitable for use as an internal non-wearing levelling screed material in domestic
and commercial applications subject to medium or light trafficking.
You get guaranteed cement content and mix proportions in every bag.
It is available in showerproof, tear-resistant plastic packaging within the UK.

SAND CEMENT SCREED: DATA SHEET
PROPERTIES
Sand Cement Screed complies with BS EN 998-2 and is a kiln dried, factory produced
1:3 cement:sand mortar.
STORAGE
Sand Cement Screed should be stored in unopened bags clear of the ground, in cool dry conditions and
protected from damp, frost, heat and excessive draught. Please use within 6 months of the packing date
shown on the bag, which is in a week/year format.
HOW TO MIX SAND CEMENT SCREED
These mixing instructions are designed to help you get the best out of Sand Cement Screed:
• Segregation can take place during transit, which is why we recommend you thoroughly mix the bag
contents before use.
• For optimum results, mix the contents of the bag thoroughly by means of forced action mechanical
mixers such as pan or paddle, while being careful to use approximately 1.6 litres of clean water per
bag to get the consistency you want for both laying and thorough compaction.
• The use of mechanical free fall mixers should be avoided as their use can lead to the balling of screed
material and affect the materials performance.
• The screed should be used within an hour of the water being added.
• If you add too much water, the mix will be weaker, it will take longer to set and the overall
performance of the screed will be impaired.
• One of the main benefits of Sand Cement Screed is that all plasticisers and workability aids are
incorporated into the mix, which means you don’t have to add anything to maximise the performance
of the product.
• Once laid, we recommend you cover the screed for at least 7 days with plastic sheeting or other
suitable material.
COVERAGE PER BAG
Laying Depth: Unbonded Screed: Minimum 60mm
Floating Screed: Minimum 75mm

HOW TO USE RAPID SET POST MIX CONCRETE
These instructions are designed to help you get the best out of Rapid Set Post Mix:
1 Dig a hole to the required size for the post.
2 Half fill the hole with water and then place the post in the hole.
3 Rapid Set Post Mix is pre-mixed and it can be emptied straight from the bag into the hole.
4 For optimum results, ensure Rapid Set Post Mix is added uniformly around the post until it is above
the level of the water. If any dry powder remains visible at this stage, add additional water until all
the water is absorbed by the material.
5 Adjust the post into position and make sure it is supported until the material is set, which takes
approximately ten minutes.
6 Once the concrete is set, cover it with earth, grass or the decorative aggregate of your choice.

HOW TO MIX GENERAL PURPOSE MASONRY MORTAR
These mixing instructions are designed to help you get the best out of General Purpose
Masonry Mortar:
• Segregation can take place during transit, which is why we recommend you thoroughly mix the bag
contents before use.
• To mix we recommend you either mix the contents of the bag in a mechanical mixer for 3-4 minutes
or hand mix on a clean, flat surface using 2 to 2.4 litres of clean water per bag. It’s important when
you hand mix to add water slowly and mix continuously, stopping to test the mixture of the mortar
until you get the consistency you want.
• The mortar should be used within an hour of water being added.
• Moisture loss can happen very quickly where temperatures are high and in high absorbency masonry
units. The best way to avoid this is to pre-wet the masonry units.
• If you add too much water, the mix will be weaker, it will take longer to set and the overall
performance of the mortar will be impaired.
• One of the main benefits of General Purpose Masonry Mortar is that all plasticisers and workability
aids are incorporated into the mix, which means you don’t have to add anything to maximise the
