Every successful build starts with a solid foundation. Whether you are laying a sub-base for a new driveway, mixing mortar for brickwork, or securing fence posts, Pennyhill Timber provides the high-grade materials required for a professional finish.
Based in Woking, we supply a comprehensive range of building aggregates in both Bulk Bags and Mini Bags, ensuring you have the right volume for projects of any size across Surrey, Hampshire, and the South East.
Use this guide to identify the best aggregate for your specific project:
| Product | Best Used For | Key Benefit |
| MOT Type 1 | Driveway sub-bases, high-traffic paths, and foundations. | High-strength, load-bearing base that resists shifting. |
| Sharp Sand | Bedding for paving slabs, floor screeds, and soil drainage. | Gritty texture for excellent drainage and a firm bed. |
| Soft / Building Sand | Bricklaying mortar, pointing, and general rendering. | Fine, malleable texture for easy application in joints. |
| Plastering Sand | Internal rendering and smooth, clean finishes. | Washed and screened to ensure an impurity-free mix. |
| 20mm Ballast | Concrete for shed bases, footings, and garden paths. | Pre-mixed stone and sand for maximum structural strength. |
| 10mm Shingle | Pipe bedding, fine drainage, and narrow borders. | Small stone size for easy leveling in tight spaces. |
| 20mm Shingle | Decorative driveways, garden paths &weed suppression. | Durable, attractive, and provides a stable walking surface. |
| Multi-Purpose Topsoil | New lawns, filling raised beds, and garden leveling. | Nutrient-rich and screened to remove large debris. |
Not all sand is the same. Our Sharp Sand is the preferred choice for paving and screeding due to its coarse grain, while our Building Sand offers the flexibility needed for smooth mortar. For internal work, our Plastering Sand is specifically washed to provide the clean finish professional renders require.
For heavy-duty applications, MOT Type 1 is the industry standard for creating a compacted, stable sub-base that won't fail under pressure. If you are mixing concrete on-site, our 20mm Ballast offers a convenient, pre-blended ratio of stone and sand to save you time and effort.
Available in 10mm and 20mm sizes, our shingle is as functional as it is aesthetic. Use it for effective drainage solutions, pipe bedding, or as a low-maintenance decorative surface for driveways and garden paths.
