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.

Virgin or recycled?

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.

Before your Bury St Edmunds delivery arrives

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

• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• On busy streets in Bury St Edmunds, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Bury St Edmunds: questions

Can you deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Bury St Edmunds?

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.

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.

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.

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Bury St Edmunds?

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