Pipe Bedding 20 mm delivered in Milton Keynes
20 mm single size is a clean, high-void stone used for deep trench surround, soakaways and attenuation layers. With no fines it drains freely and does not slump into voids, so it is the default where the surround also has to store or convey water.
Into Milton Keynes and across South East 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 and grab loads across Milton Keynes, Bletchley and north Bucks within 24–72 hours on stocked lines. Skips and grabs coordinated for grid-square sites with easy roadside access.

What shapes Pipe Bedding 20 mm supply in Milton Keynes
Drainage packages on large residential parcels and fit-out-scale groundworks around Milton Keynes take Pipe Bedding 20 mm in daily call-offs rather than one bulk drop, so bedding lands as each run is dug rather than sitting in the way. Grid-road access with straightforward site entry on most parcels decide whether it arrives by tipper, grab or bulk bag. Where the same site is also producing skips and grab loads running alongside staged deliveries, we plan the removal and the delivery together so the lorry is not running one leg empty. The same routes serve Bletchley, Newport Pagnell and Bedford.
Questions we get asked
What void ratio should I design a 20 mm stone soakaway to?
Clean 20 mm single size is commonly designed at around 30% void ratio, but your drainage engineer should confirm the figure for the material and compaction assumed in the calculation.
Is 20 mm single size the same as 20 mm ballast?
No. Ballast is an all-in mix of stone and sand for concrete. 20 mm single size is a washed, clean stone with the fines removed and is not a concreting material.
Do you deliver to Bedford and Aylesbury too?
Yes — Bedford, Aylesbury, Buckingham and Leighton Buzzard are all served from our Milton Keynes haulage network.
Material out as well as in, around Milton Keynes
Most deliveries into Milton Keynes 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.
