WSA 3mm Washed Grit Sand Suppliers Cheshire
With Next-Day Availability
WSA 3mm Washed Grit Sand is a fine, clean sand with particle sizes up to 3mm, processed from recycled inorganic construction materials and washed to remove impurities. As a recycled aggregate, it goes through a controlled production process that ensures it meets consistent quality standards.
The end result is a fine grit sand that performs comparably to quarried alternatives across most standard applications, at a price point that tends to be more competitive and with a lower environmental footprint. As a recycled aggregates supplier in Cheshire, we stock WSA 3mm as part of our full recycled range, and it's one of the materials we find ourselves supplying across a broad mix of project types.
What Is It Used For?
Block paving and paving slab bedding are probably the most common applications. The fine particle size and clean, washed finish make it well suited to bedding work, where you need a material that sits consistently beneath paving without creating uneven spots or drainage problems. It compacts well, stays in place and gives block paving a stable, reliable base to sit on.
As well as bedding, WSA 3mm is used in plastering and rendering applications, where its fine texture and cleanliness make it a practical choice. It's also useful in drainage contexts as the particle size allows water to move through it freely, which makes it a sensible option wherever drainage performance is part of the brief. For a single sand product, it covers a genuinely useful range of uses.

Ordering From Your Local Recycled Aggregates Supplier in Cheshire
There's sometimes a perception that recycled aggregates are a compromise on quality, and it's one worth addressing directly. Recycled aggregates are processed to consistent specifications and tested to ensure they perform as expected. For the vast majority of standard construction and groundwork applications, the technical difference between a recycled and a quarried aggregate is minimal.
What recycled aggregates do offer is a more sustainable choice. The raw material, like concrete, stone, brick and similar inorganic construction waste, would otherwise end up in landfill. Processing them into usable aggregates reduces that waste, removes the need for new quarrying and typically brings the cost down for the end user. If your project has sustainability targets or BREEAM requirements to meet, specifying recycled aggregates is one of the more straightforward ways to contribute to those goals.
As an experienced recycled aggregate supplier, we can also offer a range of other materials, including:
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 10mm – 20mm Pipe Bedding
Larger-sized washed aggregate for pipe bedding, offering enhanced drainage and structural support. The 10mm to 20mm grading is particularly suited for larger drainage and utility pipe systems, providing stability and preventing soil infiltration.
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.
