Have a look here

If you went for the option of laying Ronadeck Fast Grip you would have to lay it on to a properly constructed Sub-base.

If you want more info please give us a call.

Hoggin: nasty, nasty stuff. As I say on the main website, it's only used in SE England and it's only used there because there's buggerall else in the way of cheap, self-binding aggregate.

However, if you must use hoggin, then keep it to 35-40mm, laid over 100mm of a type 1 sub-base. Forget the sand laying course: that would just hasten the inevitable demise of an already iffy surface.
