How are Hogan aggregates quality assured?

To work out how much aggregate you need, first measure the length and width of the area to be covered to get the area in square metres, then decide on the depth you need in metres.
Multiply area by depth to get the volume in cubic metres, then multiply by around 2.4 to convert to tonnes and add an extra 5–10% to allow for wastage and compaction.
Example: If your area is 10m by 5m at 0.1m depth:
• Area = 10 × 5 = 50m²
• Volume = 50 × 0.1 = 5m³
• Tonnage ≈ 5 × 2.4 = 12 tonnes

That depends on the size of your project and the depth required for its use (for example, paths, driveways, sub bases, or decorative areas each need different depths).

If you send us your length, width, and required depth, we can calculate the volume and recommended tonnage for you, or you can use the simple formula: volume = area × depth, then convert cubic metres to tonnes.

The simplest way is to drop your dimensions into our aggregate calculator, choose the product, and use that output as your ordering guide.

The four main types of aggregates are:

Coarse Aggregates: Larger particles, such as gravel or crushed stone, used for structural strength.

Fine/Sand Aggregates: Smaller particles, like sand, for smooth finishes and filling gaps.

Recycled Aggregates: Materials reused from construction waste, promoting sustainability.

Specialised Aggregates: Tailored for specific purposes, such as decorative or high-strength concrete.

Each has specific uses in building and infrastructure projects. Hogan Group offers a wide range of aggregates to suit your project requirements.

Aggregate prices vary depending on the material (for example MOT type 1, gravel, sand), the quantity you order, and your delivery location. We’ll provide a tailored, no‑obligation quote once we know what product you need, how much you need, and where it is being delivered.
