Delivery to Caterham: what helps
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Caterham is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
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.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Caterham: questions
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Caterham?
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.
How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Caterham?
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.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
