Before your Highland delivery arrives
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Across Highland, deliveries are quoted individually because of the distance and access.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around IV are priced to the exact address.
- On busy streets in Highland, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
Picking the right product
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.
Your questions answered
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.
