Delivering MOT Type 1 in Burgess Hill

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Burgess Hill is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Picking the right product

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.

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