Getting MOT Type 1 onto your Ashington site

- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- In summer Ashington gets around 17h 25m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
Before you order MOT Type 1
Virgin or recycled?
Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
How much will you need?
An 8 × 5 m area at 100 mm compacted is 4 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 9.2 tonnes, or around 11 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
Ordering MOT Type 1 for Ashington: FAQs
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Ashington?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Ashington?
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.
What is the difference between Type 1 and scalpings?
Type 1 is graded to a specification so it compacts into a strong, stable layer. Scalpings are less controlled and suit less demanding areas.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
