Before you order MOT Type 1

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.
Delivering MOT Type 1 in Bury
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Bury is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
Quantities: a worked example
A 10 × 6 m area at 100 mm compacted is 6 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 13.9 tonnes, or around 17 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Bury?
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.
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.
