Chaiiley Factory Clay Stockpile Building

Clay Winning and Stockpiling at the Chailey Ibstock Factory will commence today, 21st July 2025 and last for approximately three working weeks. The exact starting date will depend upon weather conditions and contractor’s availability. The work associated with the clay winning within the factory area will be limited to between 0800 hours and 1700 hours Monday to Friday. Two half hour breaks will be taken during the day.

A number of measures will be put in place to keep disruptions to nearby neighbours a minimum and in return Ibstock ask for your understanding while this work is carried out. The stockpile in the factory that they are building in the factory area is being limited to 6 metres in height as in previous years; this will result in the majority of the work taking place below the height of the existing bund around the area. The reduction in the height of the stockpile has reduced the noise carry over. The mobile plant being used on the stockpile has been chosen for their minimum noise levels.

If Ibstock can be of any assistance, (please do not visit the site) but contact Nathan Johnson, Technical Deputy Quarry Manager by phone at the factory on 01273 400212.
