Successfully managing and delivering any construction or infrastructure project requires access to a consistent supply of high-quality materials that are available to you on-demand. For this reason, your material supplier should be large enough to be able to supply you with sufficient quantities of the products you need with minimal lead time, in turn allowing you to deliver your project without delay.

As an independently owned quarry, we produce and supply vast quantities of construction materials such as gravel, aggregates, stone and concrete, allowing us to meet your demand regardless of the size of your project. Whether you’re a small private developer or a major construction company, sourcing your materials from William Thompson & Son will provide you with several benefits.

1.       Consistency in Material Quality

Our quarrying operation ensures that all of the materials that we supply are produced onsite, whether freshly excavated stone or the aggregates that we recycle for reuse. Furthermore, each material that we produce is subjected to the same stringent quality control measures, ensuring that each batch that you receive from us is of the same high quality.

2.       Customised Material Solutions

We pride ourselves on being able to work with our clients to provide a bespoke solution for their construction project requirements. Some projects have a need for a specific type or size of material which can be difficult to source in large quantities from builders’ merchant – but due to the scale of our operation – we are guaranteed to be able to supply any custom order with industry leading turnaround times.

3.       A Sole Source of Supply

We are capable of supplying every stoned based material which are typically used for construction projects, making our quarry ideal as your only source of material supply. We can meet any demand for sand, concrete, Type 1 stone or gravel, providing you with the convenience of being able to order the materials you need through a single supplier.

4.       Choose from Collection or Delivery

Purchasing from a quarry provides you with the utmost in flexibility in how you choose to receive your materials. We offer a regional delivery service where our clients can choose to have their materials delivered directly to their site at a time to suit them, in addition to being able to collect from our quarry if you possess the transport required.

We also provide you with the option of having any waste material collected and disposed of at our landfill site, providing you with a comprehensive solution for your construction project requirements.

5.       We Prioritise Sustainability

Our aggregate products are produced from recycled aggregates with the purpose of reducing our carbon footprint in addition to reducing the amount of waste emitted by the construction industry. Any material we cannot recycle is disposed of within our landfill site to limit the impact on the environment.
