Recycled type 1

MOT Type 1 Limestone

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON RECYCLED AGGREGATES OXFORDSHIRE

Construction aggregate is a range of materials, including sand, topsoil, recycled concrete, ballast and crushed stone. All of these are used in the construction process throughout Oxford and Oxfordshire, and are some of the most mined materials worldwide.

Construction aggregates are commonly used as a mixer with cement in order to create concrete. They are usually placed into two categories: Fine Aggregate and Coarse Aggregate.

It all depends on the size of the area you’re covering, and how much you actually need. On average the cost of aggregates for one square metre ranges from £80 to £210.

However, please keep in mind that this is just an estimate, each project is unique and will require a different addition of costs.

If you would like to receive a quote from us, please get in touch.

The amount of aggregates needed depends on the materials you desire and the area you want to be covered.

There are aggregate calculators available online, both manual and electronic. However, if you have the measurements of the area you want to cover, and are based in Oxfordshire or surrounding areas, as your trusted aggregate supplier, we can provide you with the quote you need.

Absolutely. With quarried aggregates constantly rising in cost, many businesses are looking for cheaper alternatives.

Recycled standards are improving with the investment into new recycling technologies, and companies can now provide high quality recycled aggregates, with multiple benefits. In fact, these alternatives are becoming more favourable to clients and customers throughout Oxfordshire.

As an aggregate supplier, we can confirm that materials which are smoother, such as natural sands and crushed stone, tend to be preferable for mixing concrete. We would recommend these as well as gravel, which are all highly acceptable for making top quality concrete.

In general, the chosen materials for concrete mixing will need to be clean, hard and free of absorbed chemicals. There has also been success with recycling old concrete, crushed to the size needed for concrete aggregate.

Aggregate needs to be strong, hard, durable and free from anything that could compromise the quality. If the aggregate is flaky and contains elongated pieces, it needs to be avoided.

Many important qualities of the aggregate can depend upon its physical aspects and the aspects of the original rock.

As SCB Oxford is an aggregate supplier, we ensure all aggregates used for clients are of the highest possible quality, whether they’re recycled or brand new.

Without aggregates, you would lose 60-80% of your concrete’s volume and the thermal, strength and elastic properties. In fact, you wouldn’t be able to make concrete without aggregates such as gravel and sand.

Aggregate isn’t only restricted to concrete, it is also used in the construction of roads, railroads and even foundations. It is a base factor for many building projects and even small housing projects across Oxfordshire.

For coarse materials, the aggregate crushing test is used to determine the resistance of a certain aggregate. This is done through a gradually applied compressive load and is a numerical indicator of the aggregate’s strength.

Aggregates are generally chosen for their resilience, regardless of the type of material. But this is usually not a factor to consider, except when working with lightweight and high strength concrete.

Yes, you should be at home in order for you to accept, check and sign for the delivery.

No, you cannot return the bags. However, you may find them useful to store garden equipment or waste.

Yes, you can return the items as long as they have not been used. If you are returning the goods from defects, the delivery and returning delivery costs will be free of charge.

On the other hand, if you are returning the goods for any other reason, you will have to pay for the delivery and return delivery. Due to the goods being a difficult material to transport, this fee is understandably high which will be discussed with you before you get your order.

Yes, we will send you an email with all the receipt information so you have a permanent copy.

As a rule of thumb, 1 tonne will cover 8sqm laid at the recommended thickness of 50mm.

Edgings are optional and help to achieve the fullest compaction of the aggregate. Concrete, timber, metal, or stone edgings can be used for edging purposes if desired.

It is not recommended that you lay our aggregates on a slope any steeper than 1 in 15 gradients. Big slopes may cause the aggregates to move with the water flow from heavy rain, which may leave holes in the ground in the areas where the aggregate has been affected.

As your trusted aggregate supplier, our aggregates are delivered bagged to preserve the aggregate material.

Recycled aggregates are reused from other various construction wastes, whereas primary aggregates are exactly as they are since coming from the quarry. There is usually no difference in quality, although recycled aggregates are usually more cost-effective.
