We were formed in 1997 as a joint venture between the founding directors and Day Aggregates Limited, and the original shareholders joined with Aggregate Industries in January 1998.
All ten of our plants are state of the art and incorporate modern technology to improve concrete quality, reduce noise, and eliminate dust. The company provides high quality concrete throughout the Greater London area and the adjoining counties. In addition, all aggregates are supplied to the concrete batching plants by rail. This offers many environmental benefits, not least of all a reduction in lorry movements on already congested roads in London. Our rail facilities allow us the opportunity to import aggregates from greater distances that would be unsustainable by road.
