The Most Popular Types of Aggregate

 

Construction aggregate is an essential part of building projects across the UK. With a wide range of variations, aggregate has multiple purposes. One of the most common is to help stabilise foundations.

 

Aggregate is composed of inert granular materials including sand and stone. At LTS Grab Hire, we sell and deliver premium materials as well as secondary aggregates sourced from our own muck away, grab hire and waste and rubbish clearance jobs.

 

If needed, the grab lorry (or lorries) at your Wimbledon site can carry out rubbish or waste clearance following the delivery of your aggregate.

The most popular kinds of aggregate we supply include:

 

• Ballast – This product is usually a mix of course, heavy materials found in grab hire, muckaway, waste clearance and rubbish clearance jobs. These include sand, small stone, gravel, slag and crushed rock. Ballast provides stability and volume to structures and their foundations. It is also used to create concrete for laying paving and slabs.
• Gravel – Comprised of crushed stone, gravel is a loose material without a uniform size. In fact, individual stones vary from approximately 5mm to 15mm. In most cases, gravel consists of round beach pebbles or angular quarried sandstone and limestone. Our grab lorry fleet can either remove gravel as part of a muck away service in Wimbledon, or deliver new gravel as needed.
• Hardcore – This aggregate consists of bulky, solid materials like brick and concrete. Crushed coarsely, it is used primarily as fill in construction work. When layering, hardcore fill is usually no less than 15mm thick. As specialists in everything from domestic rubbish clearance to commercial waste clearance, LTS Grab Hire takes an active approach to recycling materials for use as hardcore and much more.
• Topsoil – As the name suggests, topsoil is the uppermost layer of the soil we find under our feet. This organic material has a composition that includes clay, sand and broken down rocks. Rich in nutrients, our clients in Wimbledon use topsoil for projects like garden improvements and landscaping. If your project involves excavation, our grab lorry vehicles can remove topsoil as part of a muck away service.
