    Have a look for a local quarry. That 804 stuff should be very cheap. Few euro a tonne. Don't buy it off the lads who bag it and sell it for way more. Go direct to the quarry

    Depends on how much you need.

    A quarry like Roadstone sell it but if you need 10% of a load or a full load, they'll charge you for a full load.

    If you need less than a full load try a local haulage company (google names). Could save you money but it all depends on your quantities.

    The name is Clause 804. You might want to query if the 804 needs to be SR21 Certified (certified stone, basically it's tested and approved so it's not completely ****e) required for road build ups. It definitely required for under buildings but I'm not sure about roads.

    Also a requirement under ground bearing slabs and within 1m of a dwelling/structure. IS888 Annex E / SR21.
