Before you order MOT Type 1

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.

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Barking is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
- In summer Barking gets around 16h 39m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
Ordering MOT Type 1 for Barking: FAQs
How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Barking?
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.
Can you deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Barking?
Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
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.
