Prime Waste Services delivers Type 1 MOT, crushed concrete, ballast, sharp sand, building sand, gravel and decorative stone to sites across Cheam (SM2 and SM3). We deliver loose or in jumbo bags, and because the material arrives on a grab lorry, the crane can place it over a wall, hedge or parked car and drop it where you need it rather than in the middle of the road.
Most of our Cheam deliveries go to driveway contractors, groundworkers and builders working on basement and lower-ground-floor projects under larger detached homes, double-storey and wrap-around extensions and wide resin-bound and block-paved driveways. If you are digging out as well as building up, we can take the muck away and bring the new material on the same visit.
Aggregates for driveway and resin driveway contractors in Cheam
A driveway only lasts as long as the sub-base under it. In Cheam the ground is chalk towards South Cheam and Belmont, with clay further north, so a properly compacted layer of Type 1 MOT is what stops block paving sinking and resin-bound surfaces cracking. As a rough guide, a 50m² driveway with a 150mm compacted Type 1 sub-base needs around 15 to 16 tonnes of stone, which is about one full grab lorry load.
- Type 1 MOT (primary or recycled) for driveway, patio and path sub-bases
- Crushed concrete as a cost-effective recycled sub-base and fill
- Sharp sand for block paving bedding and screeds
- Building sand and ballast for mortar and concrete mixes
- Gravel, shingle and decorative stone for drainage, borders and finished surfaces
Resin-bound installers usually lay over a tarmac or concrete base on top of the Type 1, so we can deliver the sub-base stone for that build-up and take the old surface away when it is broken out.
Aggregates for extensions and basements in Cheam
Extension and basement builders in Cheam use our deliveries for foundation hardcore, ballast for concrete, and free-draining stone behind retaining walls. With a load capacity of up to 20 cubic yards, approximately 16 tonnes, one delivery typically covers what would otherwise take several smaller drops.
How an aggregate delivery works
- Call 07778 541120 or 020 7167 8474, or email info@primewasteservicesltd.com, with the site address, the material and roughly how much you need.
- We confirm the price, the material and a delivery slot, subject to availability.
- On the day the driver positions the lorry on the road or hardstanding and uses the crane to place the load, loose or in jumbo bags.
- If you also have soil, hardcore or green waste to clear, we can load it on the same visit where the job allows.
Delivering in Cheam: local knowledge
We cover the A232 through Cheam Village, North Cheam and the roads around Nonsuch Park, in the London Borough of Sutton. Housing here is larger detached and semi-detached houses in South Cheam and around Nonsuch Park, with 1930s semis in North Cheam. Many South Cheam houses sit behind long front gardens and mature hedges, which is exactly where a crane reach of up to 7.5m (depending on vehicle and site conditions) earns its keep. The run from our operating centre in Croydon is along the A232 through Sutton.

Frequently asked questions: aggregate delivery in Cheam
How much Type 1 do I need for a driveway in Cheam?
Multiply the area in square metres by the compacted depth in metres, then by about 2.1 to get tonnes. A 50m² driveway at 150mm deep needs around 15 to 16 tonnes, roughly one full grab lorry load. Tell us the size and we will help you work it out.
Do you deliver loose or in bags?
Both. We deliver loose straight from the grab, which is usually the most economical way for larger quantities, or in jumbo bags where the material needs to be kept tidy or stored for a few days.
Can the grab drop aggregates over my wall?
Yes. The crane has a reach of up to 7.5m depending on vehicle and site conditions, so it can place material over walls, fences, hedges and parked cars without the lorry entering the site.
Can you take waste away on the same visit?
Yes, where the job allows. Many driveway and extension jobs book a muck away and a Type 1 delivery together so the lorry arrives with stone and leaves with spoil.
Can you deliver the same day in Cheam?
Same-day and next-day deliveries are often possible but are always subject to availability, so call as early as you can.
