Muckaway & Soil Removal in Slough
Atlas Stone Supplies removes surplus dig, subsoil, clay, hardcore and made ground from sites across Slough and the wider Berkshire area. We classify the material where the disposal route isn't already confirmed, book the right vehicle for your access, and back-load aggregate on the return leg so you pay for one movement instead of two.
Slough site conditions we plan around
Industrial and data-centre plots take volume Type 1 and capping to a strict daily tonnage, often with vehicle-booking systems and timed gate slots. Residential regeneration in the town centre is the opposite — tight plots, grab access and phased small loads. Made ground on former industrial land makes WAC classification routine.
Lead times & access
Stocked lines within 24–72 hours across SL postcodes. Artic and 8-wheel loads for trading-estate and Heathrow-corridor work with timed gate bookings; grab and bulk bags for town-centre plots.
What we handle on Slough muckaway jobs
- Surplus subsoil, clay and topsoil from bulk excavation and reduced-level dig
- Hardcore, crushed concrete and demolition arisings
- Made ground and mixed muck from brownfield and infill plots
- Trench arisings from drainage and utility runs
- Contaminated soil, once classified, routed to a licensed facility
Options for Slough sites
8-wheel tipper
Around 16–20 tonnes per load — the standard workhorse for open sites with room to reverse and tip.
6-wheel tipper
Lighter and shorter for restricted estate roads, narrow accesses and weight-limited routes.
Grab lorry
Loads itself from a stockpile or verge with an extended-reach arm — no excavator needed on site.
Artic bulk
Highest tonnage per movement for volume earthworks where access and hardstanding allow.
How it works
01
Tell us the material and access
Material type, rough volume, site postcode and how a lorry gets in and out.
02
We confirm the route
Classification if needed, then the licensed disposal or recovery facility and the vehicle that suits your access.
03
Loads run to programme
Phased to your dig rate, with duty-of-care transfer notes issued for every load.
Compliance and paperwork
All haulage runs under registered waste-carrier licences, with duty-of-care transfer notes for every load and WAC/WM3 documentation where the material requires classification.
Our credentialsWhat shapes muckaway in Slough
Most Slough muckaway we plan involves made ground that makes WAC classification routine before anything moves, so the disposal route is settled before the first lorry is booked rather than after a load is turned away. Vehicle-booking systems and timed gate slots on data-centre and industrial plots decide whether the job runs on tippers, grabs or a mix of both. The same routes reach Windsor, Maidenhead and Uxbridge, and where aggregate is going back in we load the return leg instead of running the lorry out empty.

Muckaway in Slough — FAQs
How quickly can you start a muckaway in Slough?
Where the material is already classified, Slough sites can normally be mobilised within a few working days. If WAC testing is needed first, allow time for sampling and lab turnaround before the first lorry moves.
Can you take muck away and deliver aggregate on the same visit?
Yes — two-way loads are the default on Berkshire jobs. The lorry tips your arisings at the facility and returns loaded with Type 1, capping or bedding stone, which cuts both vehicle movements and cost.
Do I get duty-of-care paperwork?
Yes. Every load leaves with a waste transfer note recording the carrier, the waste description and the receiving facility, so your site file stays compliant.
What if the soil turns out to be contaminated?
We sample to BS EN 14899, run UKAS WAC analysis and issue a WM3 hazard assessment, then route the material to a facility licensed to accept it. Nothing moves before the route is confirmed.
Is WAC testing available before muckaway?
Yes — BS EN 14899 sampling, UKAS WAC analysis and WM3 assessment, which is worth doing early on former industrial land in Slough.
