Frequently asked questions

Use our aggregate calculator with the area and compacted depth of your project. Add a sensible allowance for compaction, settlement and uneven ground.

Bulk bags are intended for larger projects, while maxi bags are convenient for smaller areas and topping up. Product pages show the supplied quantity for each item.

The right material depends on the application. MOT Type 1 is commonly used for sub-base, building sand for mortar and paving work, and decorative gravel for visible finishing areas.

Aggregate is a natural material, so colour, texture and particle shape can vary between batches and may look different when wet or dry.

Yes. Choose your products, enter the required delivery details and complete the available checkout options. Call 01902 784866 if you need help before ordering.

Yes. Choose Click & Collect when available during checkout and wait for confirmation before travelling to the collection point.

Orders are delivered kerbside using either our own forklift-equipped vehicles or a suitable third-party pallet courier.

Not always, but we require a working contact number and clear delivery instructions. Safe access and a suitable kerbside unloading point remain essential.

No. Delivery is kerbside only and products cannot be lifted over walls, fences or hedges.

Tell us about narrow roads, parked vehicles, slopes, gravel, height limits and other restrictions when ordering. Undisclosed restrictions can cause a failed delivery and additional charges.

The pallet remains with the customer and should be reused or disposed of responsibly.

Contact us as early as possible. Changes requested close to dispatch are subject to availability and may incur redelivery or administration charges.

Depth depends on the ground conditions, intended use and project design. Driveways and load-bearing areas generally need a more substantial compacted sub-base than pedestrian paths.

Sub-base and many construction aggregates should be laid in suitable layers and compacted with the correct equipment. Decorative stone is normally levelled rather than heavily compacted.

A suitable geotextile membrane can help separate aggregate from the soil and reduce weed growth, but the correct specification depends on the project and ground conditions.

Loose gravel can migrate on steep or heavily trafficked slopes. Edging, cellular stabilisation grids or a different surface may be required.

Natural colour variation is normal. For areas where appearance matters, order enough material together and blend bags during installation for a more even finish.
