6F2 Capping delivered in Stoke-on-Trent
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 Stoke-on-Trent and across West Midlands 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. Tipper, grab and artic loads across Stoke, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stafford and Crewe within 24–72 hours on stocked lines.

Former industrial land means made ground, variable arisings and a real need for correct classification before disposal — followed by capping and sub-base to build a workable platform.
What shapes 6F2 Capping supply in Stoke-on-Trent
Former industrial ground with variable made ground throughout is exactly why 6F2 Capping moves in volume around Stoke-on-Trent — it builds a working platform that takes plant and lorry traffic before any sub-base goes down. Ex-industrial plots with wide but rough site access decide whether it arrives by tipper, grab or bulk bag. Where the same site is also producing variable arisings that genuinely need correct classification before disposal, we plan the removal and the delivery together so the lorry is not running one leg empty. The same routes serve Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stafford and Crewe.
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.
Do you cover Cheshire as well?
Crewe, Congleton and southern Cheshire are inside our Stoke haulage radius.
Material out as well as in, around Stoke-on-Trent
Most deliveries into Stoke-on-Trent 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.
