Wainwright produce a wide range of products in three main categories - Roadstone, Surface Dressing Chippings and Coated Materials.
For over 100 years, Wainwright has been extracting Basalt from Moons Hill Quarry. The aggregate is a hardstone Basalt (Andesite) with a minimum PSV of 57, which make this the only source of Surface Course quality aggregates within the surrounding region.

The extracted aggregate passes through an extensive crushing and screening process, which allows for the production of both single sized and blended aggregates. So whether you need premium aggregates for the production of Asphalt or Concrete, clause 803 (SHW) Type 1 sub base, a specialist dust for horse arenas or a Non-Calcareous aggregate for watercourses, Wainwright will ensure that the aggregate that we supply will meet your requirements and expectations. This has been further enhanced by the installation of a new computerised control system.

Moons Hill Basalt is a premium aggregate and one that can be used on the surface course of carriageways. The Basalt offers a good surface texture up to the tyres of passing vehicles and in doing so it increases the frictional resistance at the interface, reducing the risk of skidding and thus improving road safety. It is this very property that makes Wainwright aggregate unique within the region. In fact, Wainwright is the nearest supplier of Premium Aggregate, south of the Thames, to supply surface course grade aggregates to the London area

Many roads undergo Surface Dressing Treatments as part of the Roads Maintenance Program and these treatments require the use of Premium, Hardstone aggregates. The specification for these aggregates is rigorous and tight and for an aggregate to meet these requirements, many secondary processes such as re-screening and washing need to be carried out. For many decades, Wainwright Basalt has been extensively used across southern England for this very purpose. Due to the conformity, durability and high quality of the Moons Hill Basalt, many national Surface Dressing contractors always purchase our aggregate as it meets the requirements of the County Specifiers and performs excellently once applied.
