Scalpings are, correctly, the off-cuts or shards created by dressing stone for building work, ie, a quarry waste. They are not as common as they once were, as we now use machinery to dress stone and the waste is re-processed into, say, a select fill, a Type 1 sub-base material, or, as mentioned above, a crushed-rock sand, but the term persists in some parts of the country.
The main use of scalpings nowadays is as a medium quality fill or sub-base material used in the construction of access paths, car parks, driveways or other light-use applications.
We can arrange for the stone to be delivered by one of our reliable haulage contractors, or you can collect the stone from us by prior arrangement.
