This is our crushed hardcore to 6f5 standard

Crushed Concrete (6F5)

Crushed concrete 6F5 is a type of recycled aggregate made from crushed concrete and other construction materials. It is commonly used in construction projects as a sub-base for roads, driveways, and foundations. The material consists of various sizes of crushed concrete, with pieces typically ranging from 40mm to dust. 6F5 is valued for being cost-effective and environmentally friendly, as it repurposes waste concrete into usable material. It provides excellent drainage properties and compacts well, making it a suitable choice for projects requiring a strong, stable base.

Type 1 Mot

Type 1 MOT is a high-quality crushed stone or gravel aggregate used primarily as a sub-base material for construction projects. It is commonly used in the construction of roads, driveways, and pavements, providing a stable foundation for surface layers. Type 1 MOT is known for its durability and ability to compact well. It offers excellent load-bearing capacity, stability, and drainage properties, making it an essential material for a wide range of construction applications.

Sharp Sand

Sharp sand, also known as washed sand or grit sand, is a coarse, angular sand commonly used in construction and building projects. Its angular grains provide excellent drainage and compaction properties, making it ideal for use in concrete, mortar, and as a base layer for paving or flagstones. Sharp sand is often mixed with cement and lime to create mortar for bricklaying and plastering. Its gritty texture also makes it suitable for landscaping and levelling work. It is different from soft sand, which has finer grains and is used for smoother finishes.

Building Sand

Building sand, also known as soft sand, is a fine, smooth sand commonly used in construction for making mortar, and rendering. Its fine texture and consistency make it ideal for creating a smooth, workable mixture when combined with cement and water. Building sand is primarily used for bricklaying, rendering and other applications where a smooth finish is required. Unlike sharp sand, which has coarser, angular grains, building sand's softer texture makes it easier to work with for creating finishes that require a finer surface.

Ballast

Ballast is a mixture of sand, gravel, and small stones commonly used in construction, particularly for creating a solid foundation or base layer. It is often combined with cement to make concrete for use in building foundations, roads, and other heavy-duty structures. Ballast is valued for its strength, stability, and drainage properties. The coarse nature of its components provides excellent load-bearing support, making it essential for projects that require durable, long-lasting foundations.

Topsoil

Topsoil is high-quality, nutrient-rich soil that has been sifted to remove large clumps, rocks, and debris. It is often used in gardening, landscaping, and construction to improve soil quality for planting or to level ground. The screening process ensures a finer, more uniform texture, making it easier to work with and ideal for promoting healthy plant growth. Screened topsoil is typically used for turf laying, flower beds, and other planting areas where a clean, fertile soil layer is required.

Satisfaction Guarantee

At Southern Grab Services, we are committed to providing the best products and services to our customers. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, please let us know on delivery, and we will work with you to resolve the issue. We’re here to ensure your satisfaction.
