Ibstock Chailey Clay Winning & Stockpiling

Plans are being made for this years Clay Winning and Stockpiling at the Chailey Factory.  It is planned that this will commence as of 29th June 2026 and last for approximately three working weeks. The work associated with the clay winning within the factory area will be limited to between 08.00hrs and 17.00hrs Monday to Friday.  Two half hour breaks will be taken during the working day.

Again, this year several measures will be put in place to keep any possible disruptions to neighbours to a minimum and in return, we ask for your understanding while the work is carried out.  The stockpile being built in the factory area is 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.
