When it comes to construction and landscaping, the foundation of success — quite literally — lies in the quality of your materials. At Ace Liftaway, we provide premium aggregates that ensure your projects stand the test of time. Whether tackling a garden revamp, building a driveway or taking on a large-scale construction project, we have got you covered. 

What Are Aggregates? 

Aggregates are essential materials used in construction and landscaping, including sand, gravel, crushed stone and recycled materials. They form the base for everything, from concrete and asphalt to garden paths and decorative landscaping. Think of them as the unsung heroes of your project — they may not steal the spotlight, but without them, things would fall apart.

Why Choose Our Aggregates?

Our aggregates are sourced and processed with care to ensure consistency and quality. Choosing Ace Liftaway means more than just reliable materials; it means working with a trusted, family-owned company that cares about your project’s success. Plus, our recycled aggregates are proof that you don’t have to sacrifice quality to go green.

Types of Aggregates We Offer

Sand Aggregate

Sand Aggregate plays a massive role in construction, serving as a key aggregate for numerous applications and we offer a variety of options for diverse applications, including concrete pouring and paving.

• Building Sand: Known for its fine-to-medium grain texture, building sand is perfect for mixing with cement to create mortar for bricklaying. It’s a versatile material, ideal for general-purpose construction.
• Grit Sand / Sharp Sand: With a coarser texture and particle sizes up to 5mm, this sand boasts excellent drainage qualities. It’s the go-to option for laying block paving, creating floor screeds and mixing concrete.
• Fill Sand: A fine, stable sand used for backfilling voids, levelling areas and creating stable bases in construction projects.
• Washed Sand: This sand undergoes additional processing to remove impurities, ensuring consistent quality and size. Its clean, graded properties make it suitable for high-precision applications like paving and screeding.

Recycled Aggregates

At Ace Liftaway, we’re serious about sustainability. Using recycled materials in your project not only cuts down on waste but also supports a circular economy. It’s a win-win for your project and the planet.

• Washed Stone (10-20mm): Perfect for drainage projects thanks to its free-draining properties.
• 6F5 (75mm down to dust): Ideal for bulk fill, haul roads, hard standings and sub-bases for driveways or carparks. 
• Type 1 (40mm down to dust): A strong, compactable material used for sub-bases and road construction.

Primary Aggregates

For projects requiring natural, unprocessed materials, our primary aggregates deliver exceptional performance. These are sourced from natural deposits or quarries and meet high-quality standards.

• Sharp Sand and Building Sand: Essential for mortar, cement mixing, and paving.
• Ballast (20mm): A versatile mix of sand and gravel for concreting and general fill.
• Type 1 Limestone: Compact and robust, perfect for heavy-duty applications like road building, hard standings and sub-bases.
