Grab Hire and Aggregate Deliveries in Merstham
J&J Franks provides Merstham customers with practical options for moving surplus site materials away and bringing the right products in. From clearing a stockpile after landscaping to managing materials during a larger project, our team helps plan collection, transport and supply requirements.
Tipper Hire
Tipper hire supports projects that need bulk material moved to or from site. J&J Franks supplies tipper hire vehicles for suitable spoil, soil, hardcore and aggregate loads, helping contractors and homeowners manage groundwork, construction and landscaping activity. We will discuss your loading arrangements, site access and the material involved before confirming the right transport option.
Grab Hire
Grab hire is ideal when loose material has been gathered in a suitable collection area and needs removing without manual loading. Our hydraulic grab lorries load directly into the vehicle, making short work of soil, brick, concrete, hardcore, tarmac and green waste. This service is widely used for driveway preparation, domestic landscaping, site clearance, demolition work and renovation projects around Merstham.
Muck Away
Our muck away service is designed for suitable inert and non-hazardous excavation waste from work such as landscaping, foundations and ground preparation. Grab lorries and tippers provide different loading options, depending on the material, volume and conditions at the site. Waste acceptance is subject to assessment before collection is arranged.

Products include sharp sand, building sand, ballast, crushed stone, MOT Type 1, recycled crushed concrete, recycled Type 1, 6F5, recycled sand and mixed recycled aggregates. These materials are used for a variety of groundwork, surfacing, landscaping and construction requirements, with suitability confirmed against the project specification.
Topsoil
Screened topsoil is available for landscaping, turf preparation, planting areas and garden improvements in Merstham. It is often needed after groundwork or levelling work to prepare a site for its next phase. J&J Franks can coordinate topsoil deliveries alongside grab hire, tipper hire or aggregate supply for projects that require both removal and new materials.
