Whether you need just the one small bag of slate chippings to brighten up your garden or a full load of grit sand to complete your large building project, we can help with all your aggregate requirements. Here at A.W. Lumb we stock a wide range of top quality aggregates from Building Aggregates such as grit sand, ballast and building sand to Decorative Aggregates such as golden gravel and slate chippings to Cobbles and Pebbles.
Armstart Foundation blocks are available in a range of width and length combinations to provide solid foundation walls for a variety of wall thicknesses. Solid foundation walls are quicker, more cost-effective and safer to construct than cavity foundation walls and all Armstart blocks weigh less than 20kg for ease of manual handling.
Airtec blocks possess unrivaled technical properties and physical characteristics. They have the lowest available thermal conductivity values of any UK manufactured block and the tightest possible mortar designation TLMB (Thin Layer Mortar B). Airtec blocks are available in standard texture only, smooth faced but are not intended for fair-faced use due to the natural air bubbles on the block surface.
We offer Insulite, Dense Concrete 'Common' and Airtec coursing units for infill around openings and adjustment of coursing heights reducing the need to cut down whole blocks. Furthermore, by supplying coursing units in all block grades, continuity of material type can be maintained throughout the build helping to avoid differential movement problems and maximise thermal performance.
Whether you need just the one pack of bricks or enough bricks to build a new house, we offer a wide selection of Bricks, Brick Specials and Stone Walling to suit any project. Here at A.W. Lumb we stock a wide range of bricks from a variety of manufacturers. All our bricks are listed here by manufacturer but if you know the name of the brick you require you may find it easier to use our 'Search' facility which is available at the top of each page.
