Delivering MOT Type 1 in Clacton-on-Sea

- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
Things to check before you order

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.
