Grantex Surfacing is a brand of Long Rake Spar which has been a leader in the decorative aggregates business since 1867 . Originally a mine , Long Rake Spar predominantly extracted a bright white Calcite otherwise known as Derbyshire Spar . Activity ceased in 1981 when the company started bringing in a variety of decorative aggregates . The company had already begun to diversify , expanding into mineral processing by installing washing , blending and drying equipment to target more specialist market sectors . This growing expertise allowed Long Rake Spar to become the original supplier of an expanding range of dried aggregates which eventually became known as Grantex Surfacing in 1998 .
Grantex Surfacing aggregates are used for numerous applications both across the UK and overseastrusted by architects , specifiers , resin-bound installers and landscape contractors for the premium quality screened and dried aggregates that Grantex provides . There are local stockists of Grantex aggregates situated around the UK enabling customers to collect aggregates should they wish . Nationwide delivery is also available .
