Re-instating top level of concrete bricks on a wall

St1mpMeister

Bit of a newb post here

I have a concrete brick wall in the garden and 6 of the top bricks got pulled down by an overgrown ivy that got too big and weighed too much.

I've since cut down the ivy, but want to do a DIY job on putting the bricks back up, rather than get a builder in.


It's been years since I had to concrete anything so is it possible to pick up a ready-mix in Woodies for this sort of job? Or do I need to buy cement and sand separately?

Also what other equipment will I need?

So far I can think of...

- Bucket for mixing the cement (and will throw out after)
- Stick for mixing the cement (to throw out after)
- A trowel?


anything else?

These are solid concrete slabs rather than the ones that have a hole in the middle, so that might make it a bit more challenging than the ones you can fill up.

Actually come to think of it they probably sell buckets with the mix powder already in them, to make it easy to dispose of after?


hmm doesn't seem like it... maybe this is good enough: https://www.woodies.ie/sand-cement-mix-5kg-100121
and purchase a bucket and trowel.


Can you just mix by hand?
