WSA 10mm–20mm Pipe Bedding
Larger drainage systems and utility pipe installations need a bedding aggregate that's up to the task, and WSA 10mm-20mm is graded precisely for that purpose

With Next-Day Availability
As drainage and utility pipe systems increase in diameter, the demands placed on the bedding material around them change accordingly. Larger pipes carry greater loads, sit deeper in the ground and need a bedding aggregate that can provide consistent support across a wider contact area without shifting or settling over time. WSA 10mm-20mm is a washed, recycled aggregate graded to meet exactly those requirements, offering the structural support and free drainage that larger pipe installations depend on.
The jump from a 5mm-10mm grading to 10mm-20mm might not sound significant, but in practice it makes a meaningful difference to how the material behaves around larger bore pipes. The coarser particle size allows water to move through the bedding zone more freely, reduces the risk of fines migration into the pipe system and provides a more stable support profile beneath heavier pipework.
How Does It Compare to WSA 5mm-10mm?
Both are pipe bedding aggregates, but they're specified for different situations. WSA 5mm-10mm is well suited to standard residential and lighter commercial drainage systems, where pipe diameters are relatively modest and bedding depth is limited. WSA 10mm-20mm steps in where those parameters change with larger diameter pipes, deeper installations and more demanding drainage or utility systems where enhanced structural support and drainage performance are part of the specification.
In practical terms, if your project involves substantial drainage infrastructure, large bore utility pipes or civil engineering works with engineer-specified bedding requirements, WSA 10mm-20mm is likely to be the grading you need. As with all pipe bedding work, it's worth cross-referencing against the project specification before ordering, particularly on larger commercial or civil schemes where material requirements tend to be clearly defined.
Typical Applications
Available From Your Recycled Aggregates Supplier in Cheshire
As an experienced recycled aggregate supplier, we can also offer a range of other materials, including:
WSA 3mm Washed Grit Sand
A fine, clean, washed grit sand with particle sizes up to 3mm. Ideal for general construction purposes, particularly for bedding paving slabs and block paving. It offers excellent drainage and is also used for plastering and rendering applications.
WSA 5mm – 10mm Pipe Bedding
A medium-sized aggregate, washed and screened, suitable for use as bedding material in pipe laying projects. The 5mm to 10mm grading ensures optimal support and drainage around underground pipes, reducing the risk of movement or damage.
WSA 20mm – 40mm Washed Filter Media
A coarser washed aggregate used as a filter media for water management systems, ensuring efficient drainage. The 20mm to 40mm particle size makes it perfect for land drainage, soakaways, and filtration projects.
WSA 40mm - 75mm Washed Filter Media
A larger-sized washed aggregate designed for filtration and drainage applications, such as in large-scale soakaways or land drainage systems. Its size range between 40mm and 75mm ensures free drainage while preventing the clogging of water systems.
Puddle Clay
A natural clay material, typically used to create watertight barriers. It is ideal for use in ponds, lakes, and canal construction, preventing water seepage due to its low permeability. Puddle clay is also employed in landfill sites as part of the liner system.
MOT Type 1 Sub Base
A widely used sub-base material made from crushed stone or gravel, with particles ranging up to 40mm. MOT Type 1 is commonly used in the construction of roads, driveways, and paths due to its strength and load-bearing properties. It forms a stable, compacted foundation layer that can support heavy traffic.
As Dug Top Soil (BS3882)
A natural topsoil, taken directly from site and screened for larger debris, compliant with BS3882 standards. It provides a nutrient-rich medium for landscaping and general gardening purposes, supporting healthy plant growth.
Screened Top Soil (BS3882)
High-quality, screened topsoil that meets the BS3882 standard for multi-purpose use. It is free from stones and debris, making it suitable for a variety of landscaping and garden projects. It promotes excellent drainage and plant growth due to its balanced texture and nutrient content.
6F2 Crushed Hardcore
A recycled aggregate consisting of crushed concrete, brick, and stone, used in construction as a bulk fill material. 6F2 is typically used for road base layers, foundations, and general groundwork, providing a strong and durable sub-base.
