Chipsave contacted me a long long time ago via The Plasterers Forum® and they were on the lookout for some testers for anew product they were looking at launching. I of course looked at it and it looked like it had potential and so passed the details on of some trusted plasterers from our community to give it test.
ChipSave is a unique recycling tray that allows you to catch excess pebbledash for reuse and is made from 100% recycled material. The trays slot together quickly and easily at the base of the wall catching any excess chips.
There is a lot of clearing up to do when it comes to pebble dashing and there is a large amount of waste unless you can collect and wash off the stones that don’t make it to the wall and this is what chipsave are trying to solve.
The drainage holes allow you to rinse the excess chips which can then be reused. Wastage is reduced and the process of collecting and cleaning the chips is streamlined, saving time, effort and MONEY.
Its a very simple but effective concept that is proving popular with plasterers that do a loot of dashing work up and down the country.

Hi David
Thanks for your comments. They have been designed to hold a weight that can be lifted quickly and easily by one man. They also have drainage holes so you can clean your excess chips quickly for reuse.
Kind regards
Pat
Hi Pat
I work for a national builders merchant and have a customer looking to purchase these through us. are there any stockists that you know of in the S.Wales area or that cover this area?
Many Thanks
Peter
I have not seen these for sale since…
The first time i used this product the benifits were obvious, economically i was able to re-use the gathered chips without fuss. I felt i saved alot more chips than i usualy would, these saved me time and money, and was also impressed with the drainage holes that allows you to clean any chips saved.I would recommend this item especially for bigger jobs.
Saves lots of chips easy to move around and very durable .. First class
I got these as a trial thanks to the forum , they worked great for us . They have been re designed abit but for the better im guessing ! Well impressed when we used them !
I looked at these and I can’t see the benefits of paying £25 each when I use tarps to save my chips from hitting the ground. I do lift the tarps and reuse the chips
Hi James i was the same looked at them a few years ago and said no chance at that money
decided to bite the bullet and bought 10 i got small discount for amount ,,, used them today to Roughcast a house that would normally take 40 bags to cast guess what 9 bags left over seriously thats roughly £54 saved in one job three jobs and they are paid for im now a convert lol
Just bought 7 from Roweb in Glasgow i thought they were over priced . and still do but i have to say they do work great and they will make a big difference to cost s and less waste
