Purchasing crusher run in sheffield

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to purchase some crusher run for a driveway but am totally in the dark about what I'm buying. Ive been told I will need 2 different grades, one finer than the other!?!? Anyway could anyone please give me an idea of where I should be ringing or what product I need to ask for or any recommendations please? I don't want to sound like a complete thicko and purchase the wrong thing. Tia

Crusher run is just hardcore made up of material of different sizes, down to dust size particles. When whacked it compresses to form a solid sub base. Most builders yards should sell it, the last tine I bought it was from Alfred Dunham in Dronfield who delivered it with a Hi-Ab truck in builders sacks to my driveway.

You but it by the cubic yard (might be metre now), just referred to as yards. Beware of cowboys who tell you that for a 30 square yard are you need 30 yards and charge for 30 yards. You'll only need a fraction of a yard's depth, so 10 yards at most.

one grade dust to 20mm crusher (hardcore) is fine for a drive Alfred Dunhams do bulk tonne bags which will cover 10-12 m at 100mm which is enough for a drive base.
