Road Planings Supplier in Surrey & Sussex

Road planings supplier in Surrey and Sussex

Road planings contain crushed tarmac produced by a cold milling machine as it removes the surface layer of a road or footpath. The material is loaded into a lorry and is officially known as road planings, although many in the industry call it road scrapings or road scalpings.

Why choose road planings?

Road planings are generally considered an eco-friendly choice because the material is reused rather than quarried, helping to preserve stocks of virgin aggregates. When compacted they bind together well, which makes them ideal for:

• Hard standings
• Farm and access tracks
• Yards and parking areas
• Temporary site access

When not to use road planings

Because of their high fines content, road planings are not suitable as backfill for drainage trenches. For a structural sub-base under a driveway or building, Type 1 crushed concrete is usually the better choice.

Delivery

We deliver road planings by tipper or grab lorry across Surrey, Sussex and South London. Tell us the address and roughly how much you need and we will give you a price.

Laying road planings

Road planings are spread and then compacted, ideally with a roller. Once compacted they bind together to form a firm surface that drains reasonably well, which is why they are popular for farm tracks, yards and parking areas. Over time and with traffic they tend to bind further.

Tell us the area you need to cover and the depth, and we will help you work out the quantity. We can also remove the old surface or spoil first with our grab lorries.
