Duneaton Quarry

Duneaton Quarry

Duneaton Quarry is strategically situated near junction 13 on the M74, allowing us to efficiently supply customers throughout Central and Southern Scotland with high-quality stone products for a variety of applications.

We offer an extensive range of aggregates, from 6mm stone to Gabion stone and rock armour. Our expertise enables us to provide tailored solutions for projects ranging from small decorative applications to major construction undertakings.

Established in 2009, our quarry specializes in Greywacke from the Ordovician Formation. This mineral is characterized by its grey color, rich quartz veins, and high iron content. These attributes contribute to a durable stone with excellent hardness and minimal weathering over time. The rich quartz veins also result in a high polished stone value of 71%, making it ideal for various applications.

Throughout our establishment, we have been privileged to serve a variety of sectors, including private clients, civil engineering, house building, and agriculture. Recently, we have experienced increased demand for single-size products in the asphalt road surfacing industry. Our Greywacke stone’s durability and high polished stone value make it particularly suitable for this purpose, providing a reliable and long-lasting material for road construction.

To operate our quarry to the highest standards, we are privileged to be represented by renowned consultants specializing in planning, design, geotechnical assessment, surveying, and health and safety. This allows us to achieve compliance with all regulatory bodies involved in the quarrying industry.

During the expansion of the company over recent years, we have further developed our range of services, which now include:

  • Contract Crushing: Providing efficient and reliable crushing services to meet the specific needs of our clients.
  • Service and Maintenance: Offering comprehensive maintenance services to ensure the optimal performance of our equipment.
  • Hire of Plant Operated and Non-Operated: Providing flexible plant hire options, both operated and non-operated, to support various project requirements.

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our dedication to customer satisfaction, safety, and environmental responsibility. We continuously strive to enhance our services and operations, ensuring that we meet the evolving needs of our clients and the industry.

Haulage

To ensure that our delivery and collection services uphold the high standards of our materials and client service, Duneaton Quarry owns and operates a large fleet of tippers and 20-ton bulk trailers. All vehicles are weighed on our calibrated weighbridge system, which is operated in accordance with the Weights and Measures Act. This allows us to manage the required volumes for clients while ensuring that all road-going vehicles comply with permissible weight limits, thereby prioritizing safety and regulatory compliance.

Our fleet is maintained to the highest standards, ensuring reliability and efficiency in all our operations. We understand the importance of timely deliveries and collections, and our team is dedicated to meeting the schedules and demands of our clients.

We offer competitive rates for haulage, with a delivery scope of up to a 40-mile radius from the quarry. Our strategic location and well-coordinated logistics enable us to serve a wide range of sectors, including private clients, civil engineering, house building, and agriculture.

Customer satisfaction is at the core of our operations. We pride ourselves on our responsive and personalized service, tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in the positive feedback we receive from our valued clients.

Additionally, we are dedicated to environmental responsibility. We implement eco-friendly practices wherever possible, ensuring that our operations have minimal impact on the environment.

Our flexible and customizable services are designed to cater to the specific requirements of each project, ensuring a tailored approach that meets individual client needs. Whether you require bulk deliveries or smaller, more frequent shipments, we have the capacity and expertise to deliver.
