Delivering MOT Type 1 in Cwmbran

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Cwmbran is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Things to check before you order

Virgin or recycled?

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.

Compaction

Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.

Your questions answered

Can you deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Cwmbran?

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.

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.

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Cwmbran?

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.
