Aggregate suppliers delivering bulk loads UK-wide

MOT Type 1 and sub-base materials

MOT Type 1 (granular sub-base to SHW Clause 803) is our highest-volume line and the default sub-base for driveways, patios, car parks and light-highways work. Supplied to full DfT specification, crushed and graded 0–63 mm, with certificates of conformity available on request for public-sector and adopted-highway schemes.

For permeable paving and SuDS-compliant driveways we also stock open-graded Type 3 and 4/20 mm clean stone, sized to act as both load-bearing layer and attenuation reservoir.

Ballast, concreting sand and building sand

20 mm all-in ballast for on-site concrete, sharp (grit) sand for screeds and laying courses, and soft building sand for mortar mixes — all delivered loose in tipper loads, grab lorries or 850 kg bulk bags depending on site access.

For larger civils projects we can dedicate a rolling delivery schedule with priced-per-tonne rates that undercut most builder's merchants.

Pipe bedding and surround aggregates

Pipe bedding is one of our highest-turnover civils lines, stocked in every common size: 4/10 mm for Class S bedding to small-diameter runs, 10 mm single size, 4/14 mm and 14 mm single size, and 4/20 mm and 20 mm single size for larger-diameter pipes and deeper trenches. 6 mm pea shingle covers cable, duct and service surround.

Sizing follows the pipe and the trench: single-size clean stone gives a free-draining, self-compacting surround that will not point-load the pipe, while graded 4/10 and 4/20 bedding beds and hauches in one operation on foul and surface-water drainage. Recycled pipe bedding is available on most schemes where the specification permits, with testing data supplied on request.

Delivered loose by 8-wheel tipper, grab lorry or artic for trench-side discharge, or in bulk bags where access is tight. Where we are also taking dig arisings away, the same lorry returns loaded — cutting haulage cost and empty running.

Bulk earthworks and civils aggregates

For large earthworks and infrastructure schemes we supply 6F5 capping to SHW Clause 613 — primary crushed and recycled 6F5 — plus graded fill by the artic load, scheduled directly to site so your muckshift and import programmes stay in step.

Recycled Type 1 and recycled capping are available on most schemes at lower cost and lower embodied carbon than primary stone, with testing data provided on request.

Decorative and specialist stone

Cotswold, Plum Slate, Scottish Pebble, 20 mm golden gravel and other decorative aggregates supplied by the bulk bag or tonne. For SuDS resin-bound driveways we supply 2–6 mm dried aggregate blends in matched batches.

Highways aggregates including Type 1 SHW-compliant sub-base, 6 mm and 10 mm surface course chippings, and railway ballast are available to spec on request.
