Construction aggregates are the backbone of any building or infrastructure project. They provide strength, stability, and durability to structures, making them essential in construction. At Lelo Aggregates, we supply a comprehensive range of high-quality aggregates tailored to meet diverse project requirements. Below, we outline the primary construction aggregates we offer and their common applications.
MOT Type 1 & 2 Construction Aggregates

Common Uses: MOT Type 1 and Type 2 are granular sub-base materials commonly used in the construction of roads, driveways, and pathways. They provide a stable foundation, ensuring longevity and structural integrity for overlying surfaces.
Pipe Beddings

Common Uses: Pipe bedding aggregates are essential for laying underground pipes. They provide a supportive and protective layer around pipes, ensuring proper alignment and preventing damage from soil movement or external loads.
MOT Type 3 (Permeable Sub-base)

Common Uses: MOT Type 3 is a permeable sub-base material ideal for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS). It's commonly used in the construction of permeable pavements, driveways, and parking areas, allowing water to drain through and reducing surface runoff.
6C Aggregate

Common Uses: 6C aggregate is a coarse material used for backfilling trenches and general construction fill. Its size and composition make it suitable for applications where good drainage and stability are required.
6F5 Aggregate

Common Uses: 6F5 is a recycled, crushed material used for bulk fill and capping layers in road construction and other large-scale groundwork projects. It provides a cost-effective solution for creating a solid base.
6G Gabion Stone
Common Uses: 6G gabion stone is used to fill gabion baskets for constructing retaining walls, erosion control structures, and decorative features in landscaping. Its durability and aesthetic appeal make it a popular choice for both functional and visual applications.
