Maen Karne has a full range of sizes and strengths of concrete blocks for many applications.
The Maen Karne Group comprises Maen Karne Aggregates and Maen Karne Concrete Products (formerly Western Blocks 2010 Ltd). We are the south west’s leading fully independent supplier of bagged and loose aggregate and a bulk muck shift specialist. We also make concrete blocks and ready-mix concrete.
Maen Karne’s ready-mixed concrete was used to build a ‘world class’ skate park in Newquay in Cornwall. Over 400 cubic metres of a specially designed mix was supplied from both Hayle and Penryn plants for the new £650,000 Concrete Waves skatepark. The concrete is sprayed on to form the vertical ramps, bowls and half-pipes of the new facility which is being built by skatepark specialists Maverick Industries and opened in July 18.

Building sand, as it is commonly known, is a BS1200 which is a 0-2mm fine sand. Your plasterer may require you to order building sand from their preferred source or a specific quarry. We will work with you to ensure that we get the right sand, just give us a call to discuss the specifications.
The type of product, quantity ordered and site access will be deciding factors on how your order will be delivered. To find out what delivery options we have available for you give us a call or send an email to sales@maenkarne.com to talk to our helpful team.
Secondary aggregates can be defined as aggregates produced as a by-product of other mining or quarrying activities such as china clay waste (the source of Maen Karne’s secondary aggregates). Processing includes crushing and screening, as with primary aggregates, but also the removal of metal, plastic or wood waste. In some locations top soil is produced as a by-product of this process. Importantly the green credentials offered by secondary aggregates make them attractive to architects and developers.
