Can I use/source my own aggregate?

Depending on the size and location of your project, supplying the aggregate from our yard in the Brecon Beacons can significantly increase the delivery cost of materials.
We are keen to reduce environmental impact and cost of delivery wherever possible, so you can source the aggregate for your project from a local supplier.
Whenever you are working with lime you need to consider aggregate selection. Marine sands are not appropriate due to the salt content, we would always suggest using a quarried aggregate.
The aggregate is what creates the colour of the mortar, plaster or render, so you will need to make test samples to check it meets your requirements. Please note we cannot assess samples or quantities etc, this will be entirely your responsibility.
Please note that our aggregate is sold by weight and a bulk bag is 1 Tonne, so when sourcing material else where you may need to purchase a larger number of bulk bags as they are typically only 800-850kg.
