Delivering MOT Type 1 in Bristol
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Bristol.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
Choosing MOT Type 1
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
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.
Questions about MOT Type 1 delivery in Bristol
Can I add other materials to my Bristol delivery?
Yes. Put everything on one list, from MOT Type 1 to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Bristol?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
Can you tip it loose?
For larger quantities we can price a loose tipped load if the lorry can reach and there is space to tip.
