Aggregates & Grab Lorry
Reliable Bulk Aggregates Delivery and Grab Lorry Hire with Over 35 Years of Local ExpertiseAt CJH Civils, our aggregates supply and grab lorry services form a vital part of our comprehensive groundworks offering. Based in Skegness for more than 35 years, we provide high-quality aggregates and efficient grab lorry operations tailored to the demands of Lincolnshire’s coastal and rural projects – from holiday park expansions and farm infrastructure to commercial developments and drainage schemes across East Lindsey.
Our own fleet of grab lorries (hiab-style with hydraulic grabs) combined with local sourcing ensures fast, cost-effective delivery and handling of materials, minimising delays and site disruption during peak tourism seasons or agricultural windows.
Aggregates Supply Services
We supply a full range of primary, secondary, and recycled aggregates in bulk quantities – delivered loose or tipped directly where needed. Materials are selected for performance in Lincolnshire’s often variable, low-bearing, and flood-prone ground conditions, complying with relevant specifications (e.g., Lincolnshire County Council approved lists, Series 500 drainage, MOT standards, and SuDS requirements).
Common Aggregates We Supply Include:
- MOT Type 1 (Granite/Limestone/Crushed Concrete) – 0-40mm down to dust: Ideal sub-base for roadways, car parks, driveways, and hard standings – provides excellent compaction and load-bearing stability.
- Type 3 / Clean Stone / Drainage Aggregates (e.g., 10/20mm, 20/40mm gravel or limestone) – Washed, single-sized stones for free-draining layers in trenches, French drains, soakaways, attenuation features, and pipe bedding.
- Sharp Sand / Building Sand / Grit Sand – For concrete mixing, mortar, screeding, ducting fill, and landscaping reinstatement.
- Topsoil (Screened & Certified) – High-quality, fertile topsoil for landscaping, reinstatement after excavation, and amenity areas on holiday parks or farms.
- Hardcore & Recycled Aggregates – Crushed concrete/brick for cost-effective fill, capping layers, and sub-bases where permitted.
- Gravel & Shingle (various sizes) – For decorative landscaping, paths, drainage surrounds, and farm tracks.
We prioritise local or regional quarries (e.g., Lincolnshire and nearby sources) to reduce transport costs, lead times, and environmental impact while ensuring material quality and traceability.
Grab Lorry Services
Our grab lorries are versatile workhorses for both delivery and removal – equipped with powerful hydraulic grabs that reach up to 8-10 metres, allowing precise loading/unloading in confined spaces, over fences, or into trenches without needing additional machinery.
Key Grab Lorry Capabilities:
- Delivery & Tipping – Direct placement of aggregates, topsoil, or hardcore exactly where required on site – ideal for roadways, drainage trenches, foundations, or landscaping prep.
- Muck-Away & Waste Removal – Efficient loading and removal of excavated spoil, demolition arisings, soil, rubble, green waste, or site clearance materials – often more economical than multiple skips.
- Site Clearance & Material Handling – Quick removal of vegetation, old hardstanding, or redundant structures during enabling works.
- Bulk Handling – Loading stockpiles, moving materials around site, or assisting with drainage/attenuation feature construction.
Benefits of Our Grab Lorry Service:
- Faster than skips – one vehicle handles large volumes in fewer trips, reducing costs and site congestion.
- Access to difficult areas – reaches over obstacles, into excavations, or narrow sites common on holiday parks and farms.
- Cost-effective – pay for what you use; often cheaper than skip hire plus loading labour.
- Environmentally responsible – maximum recycling of suitable materials, licensed waste transfer notes, and reduced vehicle movements.
- Local & responsive – Skegness-based fleet for same-day/next-day service when available.
