Before your Chelmsford delivery arrives
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Chelmsford is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- With roughly 7h 47m of daylight in Chelmsford around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well
Virgin or recycled?
Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.
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.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base questions
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Chelmsford?
There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
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 Chelmsford?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
