Pipe Bedding 4/10 mm delivered in Hull
4/10 mm graded pipe bedding is the standard Class S bedding and surround stone for small-diameter drainage and utility runs. The tight 4–10 mm grading compacts readily around the pipe barrel without point-loading the crown, giving uniform support in narrow trenches where a larger single size would bridge.
Into Hull and across Yorkshire & the Humber 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 Hull, Beverley, Goole and Grimsby, typically within 24–72 hours on stocked lines.

Low-lying ground and port-side hardstanding mean capping and free-draining granular fill are core, with artic tonnage for the larger energy and logistics platforms.
What shapes Pipe Bedding 4/10 mm supply in Hull
Drainage packages on port hardstanding, energy-corridor platforms and housing regeneration around Hull take Pipe Bedding 4/10 mm in daily call-offs rather than one bulk drop, so bedding lands as each run is dug rather than sitting in the way. Port estates with controlled vehicle movements plus open energy-corridor plots decide whether it arrives by tipper, grab or bulk bag. Where the same site is also producing wet clay arisings that need sheeting in transit and tip acceptance confirmed first, we plan the removal and the delivery together so the lorry is not running one leg empty. The same routes serve Beverley, Goole and Grimsby.
Questions we get asked
Is 4/10 mm suitable as Class S bedding?
Yes — 4/10 mm graded stone is one of the most commonly specified Class S bedding and surround materials for small-diameter pipe runs. Confirm the size against your drainage detail before ordering, as some specifications call for 10 mm or 4/20 mm instead.
How much pipe bedding do I need per metre of trench?
As a rule of thumb, a 450 mm wide trench with 100 mm bed and 150 mm cover over a 150 mm pipe takes roughly 0.25–0.30 tonnes per linear metre. Send us your trench dimensions and run length and we'll price the tonnage for you.
Do you cover North Lincolnshire?
Yes, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and the south bank are inside our Humber haulage network.
Material out as well as in, around Hull
Most deliveries into Hull 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.
