Versatile Solutions for Drainage and Surfaces

The 10mm shingle is the preferred choice for fine drainage work and as a bedding material for pipes and underground utilities. Its smaller size allows it to flow into gaps easily, providing excellent support and protection for subterranean infrastructure. For heavier-duty applications, such as driveways, footpaths, or large-scale soakaways, our 20mm shingle offers a more robust solution that is less likely to be displaced by foot traffic or vehicle tyres.

Whether you require precision bedding for utilities or a hard-wearing surface for heavy traffic, our selection of shingles provides the perfect balance of drainage and stability for any site in the South East.

Reliable Bulk Delivery and Site Logistics

Utilising our dedicated fleet of 8-wheel tippers, we deliver bulk loads of shingle directly to your site with the punctuality and precision that urban projects require. We understand the logistical hurdles of working in London, which is why our service is built around clear communication and accurate tipping.

To ensure the material is placed exactly where your groundworks team needs it, we recommend using timber laths to mark out the boundaries of your drainage trenches or decorative borders. This simple step helps maintain site organisation and prevents the stone from mixing with the surrounding soil or being tipped in high-traffic access zones.

Professional Finishing and External Works

Beyond the functional benefits, our shingle supply is a key component in achieving a professional, clean aesthetic for any external works. The natural, varied tones of our shingles offer a visually appealing finish that complements both modern urban developments and traditional rural projects across Essex, London, and Kent.

To achieve the best results, we recommend laying the shingle over a compacted sub-base and a high-quality weed membrane, using timber laths to secure the edges and maintain clear separation between the gravel and your soil or paved areas. This attention to detail ensures your drainage runs stay clear and your decorative surfaces remain pristine, providing a low-maintenance, high-impact solution for your site’s finishing touches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose 10mm or 20mm shingle?

It depends on the application:

10mm Shingle: Best for pipe bedding, fine drainage, and small garden borders.

20mm Shingle: Ideal for driveways, larger drainage blankets, soakaways, and areas with higher foot traffic.

Is shingle suitable for driveways?

Yes, 20mm shingle is a very popular choice for driveways across Essex, London & Kent.

It provides a permeable surface that helps with SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) compliance, reducing the risk of surface flooding. For a professional finish, ensure you have a solid sub-base of MOT Type 1 and use timber laths or high-quality edging to keep the shingle contained.

How much shingle do I need?

For a standard decorative layer or driveway, we recommend a depth of roughly 50mm. At this depth, one tonne of shingle will cover approximately 12 to 14 square metres.

If you are using it for drainage or pipe bedding, the tonnage will be higher depending on the width and depth of your trenches. Our team can provide a precise estimate based on your site measurements in London.

How is the shingle delivered?

We deliver in bulk via our 8-wheel tippers, which can carry up to 20 tonnes per trip.

Our drivers are experienced in navigating tight residential streets and busy construction sites throughout Essex, London & Kent. To make the process seamless, please ensure there is adequate space for the vehicle to tip safely and use timber laths to signal the exact drop-off point.

Does the color of the shingle vary?

As shingle is a natural quarried product, there can be slight variations in color depending on the source.

Most of our supply features a blend of browns, greys, and buffs that complement both modern and traditional builds. If you are matching existing stone on a London site, let us know, and we will do our best to provide a consistent match.
