• On busy streets in Bedfordshire, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around LU are priced to the exact address.

Things to check before you order

How deep?

Patios and paths commonly use around 100 mm of compacted sub-base, and domestic driveways around 150 mm or more. Soft ground or heavier vehicles need more; your designer or installer will confirm.

Compaction

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

Questions about MOT Type 1 delivery in Bedfordshire

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to Bedfordshire?

Yes. We deliver across Bedfordshire, including LU, MK. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Bedfordshire. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

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.

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Bedfordshire?

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.

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.
