WSA 5mm-10mm Pipe Bedding
Getting pipe bedding right isn't the most visible part of a project, but it's one of the parts that really matters when things are buried and backfilled.

What goes around your pipes is just as important as the pipes themselves. When underground pipes are being laid, whether for drainage, utilities or water management, the material placed around them plays a critical role in how well they perform and how long they last. Pipe bedding supports the pipe from below, cushions it from point loads and sharp objects in the surrounding ground, and ensures that the weight of backfill above is distributed evenly rather than bearing down on a single point. Get the bedding material wrong and you risk pipe movement, deformation or damage that can be expensive and disruptive to fix once everything is buried.
WSA 5mm-10mm is a washed, medium-sized recycled aggregate graded specifically for this application. The particle size range gives it the right balance of support and drainage, sitting snugly around pipes without creating voids or uneven pressure points beneath them.
Why This Grading?
Where It Gets Specified
This material turns up wherever pipes are going into the ground. Residential and commercial drainage systems, surface water management schemes, utility pipe installations and civil engineering groundwork all regularly call for a graded pipe bedding aggregate in this size range. It's a straightforward specification on most projects, but using the right material from the outset avoids the kind of subsurface problems that only become apparent long after the ground has been reinstated.
For larger schemes or projects with specific technical requirements, it's worth checking the engineer's specification before ordering. Most standard drainage work will call for something in this grading range, but specifications do vary and it's always better to confirm early.

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.
