Pay that myself, but the 15kg bags are the high yeild adhesive so you will be getting 6m2 or more on a good screed.

I had estimated 4m per bag and supplied 15 bags for 60m. 300x300 over a fairly average floor and only used 9 bags. Trowel was probably about 11mm. Was amazed.

Just buy it and charge the custard, I always do materials on estimate for this exact reason
