6F2 Capping delivered in Leeds
6F2 is a coarse recycled capping fill graded 0–125 mm, the most widely used capping material on UK earthworks. It builds a stable working platform over soft formations quickly and cheaply, and is the usual first import onto a site once the muckshift is under way.
Into Leeds and across West Yorkshire we supply it loose by tipper, by grab lorry where a stockpile has to be loaded or reached over a boundary, or in bulk bags for plots a lorry can't discharge into. Short haulage routes from Yorkshire quarries and recycling facilities keep lead times tight — most stocked lines land within 24–72 hours. Tipper, grab and bulk-bag options across West and South Yorkshire.

Our Yorkshire customers include groundworkers on South Bank regeneration plots, drainage subcontractors on adoption schemes and developers building out market-town sites who need muck off site before base can go down.
What shapes 6F2 Capping supply in Leeds
Made ground on South Bank regeneration plots is exactly why 6F2 Capping moves in volume around Leeds — it builds a working platform that takes plant and lorry traffic before any sub-base goes down. Part-built estate roads and city-fringe plots with staged access decide whether it arrives by tipper, grab or bulk bag. Where the same site is also producing muck that has to leave before base can go down, we plan the removal and the delivery together so the lorry is not running one leg empty. The same routes serve Bradford, Wakefield and Huddersfield.
Questions we get asked
Is 6F2 the same as crusher run or hardcore?
They overlap in practice but are not interchangeable on paper. 6F2 is a specified capping grading under Clause 613 with defined limits, whereas 'hardcore' is a generic term. If your spec names 6F2, order 6F2 and we'll supply the supporting data.
Can 6F2 be used as a sub-base?
No — 6F2 is a capping material. For sub-base use MOT Type 1 to Clause 803, or recycled Type 1 where secondary aggregate is permitted.
How quickly can you get bedding stone to a Leeds site?
Stocked bedding sizes are usually on site within 24–48 hours, and same-day is often possible for orders placed early in the day.
Material out as well as in, around Leeds
Most deliveries into Leeds pair with a removal: the lorry takes your arisings to a licensed facility and comes back loaded, so you pay for one movement rather than two.
