"sahara",

Your nearest suppliers would appear to be on one of these sites:

http://www.mqp.co.uk/

http://www.hanson.co.uk/

First of all I would strongly recommend that you speak to the respective
technical managers of the two firms otherwise you may buy a product
which is quite unsuitable for your needs.

As I understand it Quarry Fines is an acidic dust which, when subjected
to water, is likely to turn into a muddy slush. I think that you could
obtain a sample by post or see it for yourself at the quarry of Midland
Quarry Products, which is at Dudley.

Regards,
Emrys Davies.

My local Quarry are quite happy to have the Public go down with a

Truck or a
car and Trailer for materials.

You need to weigh-in and then pop into the office to just tell them

what
you're after. They'll point you in the right direction. Take a

shovel with
you!

Try not to get in the way of the big wagons and machinery, they're

often on
piecework.

Weigh yourselves back out and pay them at the office.


Ok thats great info. Just a few questions in response
Where are you? Which is your local quarry?
How do i find my 'local' quarry? I live in Birmingham.
Will doing this cost me a big load of money? (bear in mind i dont
actually own a truck or a trailer so would have to sort out that bit
too)
thanks,
sarah a
