Planning the drop in Carnoustie
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Carnoustie is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- With roughly 6h 50m of daylight in Carnoustie around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
Estimating your MOT Type 1
A 5 × 6 m area at 150 mm compacted is 4.5 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 10.4 tonnes, or around 13 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
Before you order MOT Type 1
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
Virgin or recycled?
Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Carnoustie: questions
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.
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Carnoustie?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
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.
Can you deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Carnoustie?
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.
