Type 1 MOT (Ministry of Transport) is a granular aggregate used in construction for creating solid bases for roads, pavements, driveways, and highways. It consists of crushed rock, limestone, or granite in particles ranging from dust to 40mm. Highly compactable and stable, it provides a durable foundation, meeting the strict standards required for load-bearing capacities in infrastructure projects.

Primary 6F5 is a coarse aggregate made from crushed concrete or natural stone, sized between 0-75mm. Often used as a capping layer in road construction, it provides a stable, permeable base that can support the upper layers of pavement. Its durability and cost-effectiveness make it ideal for large-scale civil engineering projects.

Sharp sand, also known as grit sand, is a coarse, angular sand used in concrete mixes, rendering, and floor screeds. It provides strength and stability to concrete, promoting proper drainage. Sharp sand’s grainy texture makes it suitable for laying paving slabs, patios, and for various construction applications where a strong, coarse sand is needed.

Building sand is fine, soft sand, often yellow or red, used primarily in mortar for bricklaying and plastering. Its fine grains create a smooth mixture that is easy to work with, allowing for precise application in masonry projects. It ensures good adhesion and workability, essential for constructing durable walls and finishes.

Pea shingle is a small, rounded gravel, typically 6-10mm in diameter, used for decorative purposes, drainage systems, and driveways. Its smooth texture and variety of colors make it aesthetically pleasing for garden paths and landscaping. Additionally, its permeability aids in preventing waterlogging in gardens and other outdoor areas.

Topsoil is the uppermost layer of soil, rich in organic matter and nutrients, crucial for plant growth. It is used in gardening, landscaping, and agricultural projects to improve soil quality and promote healthy plant development. High-quality topsoil supports root systems and enhances the fertility and structure of the underlying soil.

Ballast is a mix of sand and gravel, typically used in concrete production. The combination of coarse and fine aggregates creates a strong, stable mixture that is essential for making concrete for foundations, paths, and driveways. Ballast’s composition ensures a durable and resilient concrete product, capable of supporting heavy loads.

Crushed concrete is recycled concrete material, often used as a sub-base for roads, driveways, and other construction projects. It is made from demolishing concrete structures and then crushing the debris into aggregate. This sustainable option reduces waste and provides a cost-effective, durable base material for various applications.

Type 3 MOT is a permeable sub-base material, typically used for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS). Made from crushed stone or recycled concrete, its larger particle size (40mm down to dust) allows for efficient water drainage, making it ideal for use in projects requiring robust and environmentally friendly groundwork solutions.

Limestone 4/20mm Ultiflow is a specific size range of limestone aggregate, designed for efficient drainage and filtration systems. Its angular particles and high purity make it suitable for use in agricultural drainage, SuDS, and construction projects where effective water management is critical. It ensures long-term stability and performance.

6F5 Recycled is a secondary aggregate produced from recycled demolition waste, including crushed concrete and brick. Sized between 0-75mm, it is used as a capping layer in construction projects, providing a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to primary aggregates. Its robust composition ensures durability and stability in various applications.

Reject sand is a byproduct of the sand processing industry, consisting of particles that are too coarse or contaminated for standard applications. Often used in fill projects, construction backfill, and as a base layer in landscaping, reject sand provides an economical solution for projects requiring bulk material without stringent quality specifications.
