Hardcore / Type 1

[TheRanger]

Does anyone know where to get bulk loads of type 1 in Central / Southern Scotland?

Or equivalent product, for filling in the base of a shed. Have used crushed tiles previously, but these are now impossible to source.

Have tried a few haulage contractors who can't seem to get it.

Thanks in advance.

Have been offered crushed brick. What's it like? I need to use some of it for levelling off a road, I thought type 1 would be better than crushed brick.

If its 75mm down then its goes in well ,either run over it with a steel tracked 360 or a big vibrating roller ,,bricks crumble and fill in the voids ,,top it with road planings if you can get some ,lock it together

Kinegar Quarries, Cockburnspath (south of Dunbar) if you're stuck over on that side.

Hillhouse Quarry.

We also used crushed brick for a shed base but it's full of wire and nails and screws and glass etc. Not worth the hassle.

No shortage of it around here but the quarries sound like they are closing down this coming week.
