Choosing MOT Type 1

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.

Virgin or recycled?

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

Delivering MOT Type 1 in Ebbw Vale

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

  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • In summer Ebbw Vale gets around 16h 41m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Common questions from Ebbw Vale

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 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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Ebbw Vale?

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 deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Ebbw Vale?

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.
