According to the government website, quarterly data highlights consistent demand for sand and gravel, essential components in construction aggregates.
Here’s a closer look at the different types of aggregates we supply and how our additional services can make your project run more smoothly.
What Are Aggregates?
For those new to construction, aggregates are essential raw materials used for building and landscaping.
They are primarily composed of sand, gravel, crushed stone, or recycled materials, serving as the foundation for various construction projects.
At Nicholls Plant Hire, our offerings are expertly sourced for quality and reliability, ensuring you always get the best results.
Types of Aggregates Available in London
We understand that no two projects are the same, which is why we provide a varied selection of aggregates in London to suit every requirement.
Here’s a breakdown of what we offer:
Crushed Concrete
Crushed concrete is an eco-friendly and cost-effective aggregate, often used as a hardcore base for roads, car parks, and other foundational structures.
This recycled material reduces waste while performing outstandingly in high-load environments.
Type 1 Limestone
Type 1 limestone, known for its exceptional compaction properties, is a staple in the construction industry.
It is ideal for sub-base layers in road construction, driveways, or foundations.
Sharp Sand
Sharp sand, commonly referred to as grit sand, is perfect for block paving, concreting, and screeding.
Its coarse texture provides solidity and durability to many construction applications.
Gravel
Gravel is a versatile material often employed in drainage systems, decorative landscaping, and pathways.
It’s available in a variety of sizes, offering flexibility for projects of all sizes.
Ballast
A combination of gravel and sharp sand, ballast is one of the most popular decorative and structural aggregates we supply.
Perfect for concrete mixes, it’s widely used in footings and other foundation-building tasks.
Recycled Materials
For projects focusing on sustainability, we also offer a range of recycled aggregates, including crushed brick and reclaimed concrete, to help reduce your environmental impact without compromising quality.
If you’re unsure which aggregate is best suited for the task at hand, our experts are more than happy to advise.
