manufacturers. This means we can source our aggregates and other landscaping products from anywhere in the

country – or anywhere in the world!

We bring these materials into our network of 20 bagging plants where we bag them up and load them for distribution.

Then we use our own FORS-accredited transport fleet to deliver the products to builders’ merchants, garden centres

and retailers nationwide.

DELIVERY OPTIONSLoose tip

loose materials, deliveries can be

arranged for any sized load from

one tonne upwards using our

dedicated fleet of tipper trucks.

Our bulk bags (typically 800kg)

are a convenient and tidy way to

deliver bulk aggregates direct to

your chosen location. Off-loading

facilities can be provided.

Mini and Maxi bags

at smaller volumes choose our

palletised mini and maxi bags.

In addition to our FORS-accredited transport fleet, our Rainham and Thurruck Plants are Silver FORS registered.

ABOUT OUR CONCRETE BLOCKS

GRS supplies high-strength concrete blocks across the south of England from its manufacturing sites in Essex

(GRS Building Products) and Cornwall (Maen Karne).

The GRS solid dense 100mm 7.3N concrete block is one of the most versatile of all building products, suitable

for every building application above and below ground, including cavity and solid walls, load-bearing and solid

partitioning, and in block-and-beam flooring. As well as the recent range expansion to 140mm, medium

density and hollow options, the 2021 offering now includes both 100/140mm dense paint-grade variants.

GRS blocks are water and fire resistant, and give great sound insulation as well as contributing to a building's

thermal mass as part of an overall low-energy design.

We currently supply blocks into East London and across the East of England – Essex, Hertfordshire,

Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk. (Maen Karne’s range of concrete products are available in West London,

M4 and M5 Corridors, South West and West Country.

Golden Gravel is a blend of browns, yellows and whites that can really

brighten up an area. When wet these gravels really come to life with the

yellows and browns appearing more golden in colour. This gravel has a

real contemporary feel which can add an elegant look to any project. The

Golden Gravel has both angular shapes and rounded gravels, with a natural

buff finish.

Moonstone Flint consists of a mixture of different colours with whites and

blacks mixed with grey and browns, the gravel is predominantly angular

with some rounded pieces. The mix of colours, shapes and the strength

of this gravel make it ideal for a wide variety of uses including driveways,

paths and decorative landscaping. It is also very striking when used in

water features.

Our slate is supplied in both bulk

bags and mini bags and it is

available in 40mm and 20mm sizes.

The dry slates are pastel in

appearance and come to life

when wet, giving a bright shiny

contemporary look. Slate is very

popular in gardens, pathways and

much more. As slate chippings are

quite flat, they settle and compact

nicely underfoot.

Our slate is a by-product of roof tile

manufacture and as such is classed

as a recycled material, which

means it is more environmentally

friendly than other quarried stones.

Slate chippings are often used as a

mulch on borders, between plants

and gardens to eliminate weed

growth and also keep moisture

retained in the soil during warm

spells.

Rail ballast is essential in the construction and maintenance of the UK rail network. The safety performance of all materials used in the trackbed requires them to be resistant to fragmentation, wear and durability against weathering effects like freezing and thawing. Our ballast is Network Rail approved.

Rail Ballast

RAIL BALLAST

Rail ballast serves as a bed for tracks and provides track stability, drainage,

and support of significant loads carried by trains, rolling stock and carriages. In

addition, it deters the growth of vegetation and allows for track maintenance to

be performed more easily.

GRS Rail Ballast is produced from granite quarried in Leicestershire, this

material is processed and washed to Network Rail exacting specification and is

approved for use in all UK rail projects.

We can deliver either in bulk bags or loose throughout the country. For

deliveries outside normal delivery hours and specialist offloading options

Brown Rock Salt

Keep all pedestrians, motorists

and customers safe this winter

by ensuring roads, footpaths and

walkways are treated with salt or grit

when snow or ice is forecast. Brown

rock salt is exceptionally versatile

and is ideal for melting snow from

roads, car parks and pathways. Due

to its colour brown rock salt becomes

useful when spreading because it is

visible in the snow. White rock salt

is a purer cleaner alternative to the

more traditional brown rock salt,

mostly used in areas such as offices,

car parks, hospitals and schools.

We offer these products for

nationwide delivery, our salt and grit

range appeals to both domestic and

commercial users.
