Welcome to

Border Aggregates

Border are a wholesale bulk specialist aggregate

company having evolved from a

builders merchant group with particular

expertise in quarry products and transport.

Our headquarters are in north Lancashire

adjacent to the M6 with a branch at Stevenston,

Ayrshire.

We purchase direct from quarry companies with

whom good working relationships

have evolved over the years. We spend a

considerable amount of time visiting

quarries throughout the UK, and in many cases

have alternative sources for our range

of aggregates should there be a shortage of

product from our usual supplier.

All current products, as well as many more, are

logged in the library containing over

500 samples which are regularly being added to.

Should you not find the colour or size of stone

required in this brochure, please give

us a call so that we can locate your requirement.
