Pipe bedding & surround

Recycled pipe bedding aggregate

Graded recycled bedding aggregate produced from processed construction and demolition arisings. On schemes where the specification permits secondary aggregate it delivers the same bedding and surround performance as primary stone at lower cost and materially lower embodied carbon — and it counts towards recycled-content targets.

Lead time and delivery

Sourced from regional recycling facilities — typically 2–4 working days depending on postcode and depth of stock, with test data supplied on request. On larger schemes we hold production against your programme so call-offs stay on date.

Tipper, grab and artic haulage. Where we are also removing surplus from your site the same lorry returns loaded, cutting haulage cost and empty running.

Frequently asked questions

Is recycled pipe bedding acceptable on adopted drainage?

It depends on the adopting authority and the specification for the scheme. Where secondary aggregate is permitted we supply grading and compliance data to support approval — send us the spec clause and we'll confirm before you order.

How much cheaper is recycled bedding?

It's typically meaningfully cheaper per tonne than primary stone, and cheaper again where we're already removing surplus material from your site and the same lorry returns loaded. Ask for a delivered rate against your postcode.
