When it comes to any construction project, choosing the right materials is crucial to the overall quality, durability, and success. This is no different from selecting the right type of aggregate for your project.
At Braidwood, we supply a full range of aggregates, gravels, and topsoil that can be tailored to the specific needs of your project. Whether you would prefer your aggregates delivered loose or bagged, we have you covered. Not only that but all our aggregates are also backed with industry certification, giving you the peace of mind that your chosen material is exactly what you need.
To know which type of aggregate is best for the project, it is beneficial to have an understanding of what they are and how they can be used.
Quarried aggregate is the most commonly used type of aggregate and refers to materials such as gravel and crushed stone, that are extracted from natural deposits through the process of quarrying.
These aggregates are essential components in many construction projects and are used for a variety of applications such as building roads, to creating concrete and pavings.
At Braidwood, our extensive list of quarried aggregates can be delivered in many shapes and sizes. Through our network of quality-assured quarries and depots, we offer a variety of limestone, gritstone, and sandstone aggregate.
Not only that but our full range of quarried aggregates is also backed by industry certification, ensuring you are getting the highest quality product.
If you’re looking to increase your sustainability with your choice of aggregate, then recycled aggregate is ideal for you.
This type of aggregate is created by repurposing construction and demolition waste, to create a more cost-effective solution when compared to quarried aggregate.
With Braidwood, you also have the peace of mind that all our recycled aggregates are certified and produced in line with WRAP protocol.
Being the uppermost layer of soil, topsoil has enhanced soil aeration and drainage and is rich in organic matter and nutrients. The use of topsoil extends from gardening and landscaping to agricultural practices.
At Braidwood, we can supply both Grade 1 British Standard topsoil and cost-effective Grade 2 topsoil.
Our Grade 1 topsoil is sampled on a regular basis to ensure it continually meets BS3882:2015 industry specifications. This topsoil can also be supplied loose to any residential, commercial, or private development and is NHBC-approved.
For a more cost-effective alternative, that does not require a British Standard, then our Grade 2 topsoil is backed with full chemical testing to ensure you are still receiving a clean product.
Sand and gravel are both essential and versatile materials used across the construction industry. Not only can the materials be decorative, but they serve a key purpose in the creation of concrete, ensuring stable foundations, etc.
Our range of sands and gravels are available in a variety of grades, which can be delivered loose or bagged.
Here at Braidwood, we supply a full range of aggregates backed by industry certification, ensuring you get the highest quality product at competitive prices, and within a timeframe that suits your budget.
