Delivering MOT Type 1 in County Antrim

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • On busy streets in County Antrim, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Picking the right product

Compaction

Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.

Virgin or recycled?

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.

Ordering MOT Type 1 for County Antrim: FAQs

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in County Antrim?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

How deep should a driveway sub-base be?

Around 150 mm of compacted MOT Type 1 is common for domestic drives on firm ground; soft ground or heavier vehicles need more. Follow your installer or the paving maker's guidance.

How much MOT Type 1 do I need?

Multiply the area by the compacted depth to get cubic metres, then allow about 2.1 to 2.2 tonnes per cubic metre. At 100 mm deep, a tonne covers roughly 4.5 square metres.

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in County Antrim?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
