WASHED AGGREGATES
Eight washed grades produced at Reading Quarry, from 0/4mm sharp sand to 80mm shingle, plus Formpave-certified gradings for permeable paving. Delivered on our own fleet or loaded for collection.
Our Washing Process
Washing removes the fine contaminants that dry processing leaves behind. That is what you are paying for, and it is why washed grades hold their spec on jobs where dry aggregate would be rejected.
We invested £3m in our recycling facility at Reading Quarry and the washplant processes 200 tonnes an hour. The result is a consistent product from 0/4mm sharp sand through to 80mm shingle, graded for the applications where dry aggregate will not meet spec, particularly drainage and permeable paving.
Our Washed Range
Choosing the Right Grade
Pipe Bedding & Hard Landscaping
Recommended: Shingle 10mm or 20mm
Fine to mid-grade shingle. The 10mm for pipe bedding and fine drainage, the 20mm where you need a bit more coarseness in concrete or hard landscaping.
Land Drainage & Soakaways
Recommended: Shingle 40mm
Our coarser shingle grade, ideal for land drainage schemes and soakaways, not suitable for driveways.
Decorative & Landscape Projects
Recommended: Shingle 80mm
Our coarsest grade, suited to decorative borders and landscape projects rather than drainage.
Concreting & Floor Screeds
Recommended: Sharp Sand 0/4mm or Ballast 0/20mm
Washed sand and ballast for block paving, concreting, floor screeds and general building work.
Permeable Paving
Recommended: Formpave Grading 4/20mm or 10/63mm
Certified grading built specifically for Formpave Aquaflow permeable paving systems.
Decorative & Landscape Projects
Recommended: Shingle 80mm
Our coarsest grade, suited to decorative borders and landscape projects rather than drainage.
Bulk Supply
Whether it is one load or a standing supply across a project, washed aggregate goes out on our own tippers from Reading Quarry, or is loaded for you to collect. Order by the tonne, with no account to open and no minimum load.
Why Recycled Works
Recycled washed aggregate costs less than primary aggregate of the same grade, because the material comes off our own demolition sites rather than out of the ground.
Washed, screened and graded on the same plant every time, so the 20mm you order in March is the 20mm you get in September.
Every load recycled here is one less load sent to landfill, reducing environmental impact.
All eight grades held in stock at Reading Quarry, ready to load.
Not Sure How Much You Need?
Working out the right quantity for drainage, bedding or paving is easy to get wrong. Three steps to get it right before you order.

STEP 02

STEP 03
Call Us With Your Measurements
Give us the volume and the grade and we will tell you the tonnage and price it.
Washing removes the contaminants. Grading is what makes the material usable. Every grade is screened to a consistent size band, from the Formpave-certified gradings for permeable paving through to the shingle used on drainage schemes that get signed off by an engineer.
Delivery & Collection
Order before midday and we will aim to get your load out the same day. Collection is open from 6:30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, closed at weekends. Please call us directly for any requests.
Our Tipper Fleet
Every load leaves Reading Quarry on a J Mould tipper, driven by our own drivers. One team from the order to the tip, with FORS accreditation and DVSA Earned Recognition behind every vehicle on the road.
Our Delivery Vehicles
SUPPLY AND DELIVERY
Material is crushed, washed and graded at Reading Quarry, so every load we sell came off a site we handled ourselves.
The same family have run this site from the start, investing in plant, people and the local community along the way.
Twelve industry accreditations, including DVSA Earned Recognition, one of very few operators our size to hold it, plus CSCS Platinum, NFDC and FORS.
Tippers, bulkers, walking floor, HIAB and low loader, all owned outright, so we set the delivery date and we keep it.
The yard is open from 6:30am Monday to Friday, so a load can be on your site before work starts.
CALA Homes, J Devine Civil Engineering, Francis Construction and Runnymede Homes are among the contractors who work with us.
More Services
One site, one team and a wider range of services to support your site, from demolition and skip hire to aggregates and plant haulage.
LICENSED. AUDITED. TRUSTED.
We are registered with the Environment Agency as a waste carrier and hold twelve current industry accreditations, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, FORS and DVSA Earned Recognition. Every one is checkable before you book.
DVSA EARNED RECOGNITION
DVSA audits our systems and records directly rather than stopping our lorries at the roadside. That is what Earned Recognition status means, and it is why our vehicles spend their time working.

I highly recommend J Mould. I booked a 6 yard skip online. They arrived on time and kept communicating till they arrived. We used it more than it could hold. They were so generous and didn’t make any fuss and took the skip. I emailed to request for collection. They came in 24 hours and again flawless communication.Very lovely chap who collected/ delivered the skip. Very careful and no damages done any where.

From a skip on the drive or a domestic demolition, to a commercial demolition with the plant hire, haulage and waste that goes with it. One company, one number, an answer within the working day.
In the Community
Every skip we deliver puts £2 towards the West Berkshire Foodbank, a small contribution on every order that adds up across a year of deliveries.
We distribute free wildflower seeds through the Village Eye each year, a small way of putting something back into the local landscape we work in.
