Our Quality Promise For Recycled Aggregates In Suffolk
J T Few Ltd supplies recycled aggregates that are tested and certified for jobs across Suffolk and East Anglia. We work to BS EN 13242 for unbound aggregates, SHW Clause 803 for Type 1, and BS 3882 for topsoil. Where applicable, products carry UKCA marking with a Declaration of Performance.
With 35+ years’ experience, a modern wash plant and fast turnaround, you can rely on consistent, compliant materials. Learn more about us or see local availability via recycled aggregates Ipswich.
Intake And Traceability: From Site To Gate
Every load is booked in, checked against Waste Transfer Notes, and verified for source and classification. We conduct pre-acceptance checks, including screening for asbestos, tar-bound planings and gypsum. Anything suspect is segregated before tipping.
On arrival, loads are inspected again. Non-compliant material is quarantined or rejected to protect product quality. Each accepted load is recorded, so we can trace from source to finished stockpile. Need collection or a clear-out before processing? See our muck away service.
The Wash Plant: Clean, Separate, Recover
Material passes through primary and secondary crushing for consistent sizing, then multi-deck screening. High-pressure washing removes clays and excess fines. Our water treatment system recycles process water to cut waste and keep the plant efficient.
Magnets remove ferrous metals; air knives and density separation pull out plastics and light contaminants. These stages deliver clean, graded products ready for certification. See our simple process guide: recycled aggregates process infographic.

Grading: Turning Feedstock Into Certifiable Products
We use sieve analysis to keep products within grading envelopes. Results are checked against the relevant standard for the product. This keeps compaction, drainage and performance consistent on site.
Typical grades include Type 1 sub-base to SHW Clause 803, 6F5 capping, sharp sand (to BS EN 13139 where applicable), and screened topsoil to BS 3882. Stockpiles are segregated in bays with clear, colour-coded signs and labels.
Contaminant Controls: What We Check And What We Reject
Contaminant control starts at the plant with visual picks, magnets and density separation. We remove wood, plastics and gypsum, and we reject tar-bound material. The goal is a clean, safe, reliable product for site.
Lab tests cover sulphate and chloride for sub-bases, plus checks on fines. For soils, we assess organic content and stone content in line with BS 3882 guidance. This supports consistent performance and long-term durability.
Testing Plan: On-Site QA And Independent Lab Verification
Daily checks cover visual quality and moisture. We run sieve analyses weekly or per production run, depending on output. Samples are retained with batch IDs for full traceability.
Independent labs conduct scheduled testing for grading, fines, sulphate, chloride, particle density and water absorption, as required by the spec. UKCA and a DoP are available for qualifying products. See our core offer: recycled aggregates.
Paperwork You Receive With Every Load
Every delivery comes with documents for your site file and audits. You receive the delivery ticket with batch and stockpile ID, plus the latest test certificate for that grade.
Where applicable, we include the UKCA Declaration of Performance. For BS 3882 topsoil, we provide test evidence of compliance. This makes site QA quicker and transparent.

Stockpile Management And Loading Discipline
We store products in separate concrete bays and keep haul roads clean to minimise contamination. Bays are clearly signed, and we track feed changes between runs.
If feedstock changes, we re-test before releasing material. Trained operators load with dedicated tools and follow strict procedures to avoid mixing grades or overloading fines.
Fast Delivery Across Suffolk And East Anglia
Our fleet and scheduling deliver short lead times across Suffolk and East Anglia. We hold strong local stocks and can scale up quickly for larger pours and highway works.
Book in advance for big volumes or night works. We’ll confirm availability, timings and vehicle types to suit your access and programme.
Fit-For-Purpose Uses: Matching Product To Job
Use Type 1 (SHW Clause 803) for sub-base under highways, yards, paths and driveways. It compacts well and supports surfacing build-ups. 6F5 is ideal for capping, bulk fill and stabilisation on poorer ground.
Sharp sand supports block paving and screeds, while BS 3882 topsoil suits turfing and planting beds. Not sure on quantities? Use our aggregator calculator or ask us to check your spec before you order.
