Delivering MOT Type 1 in Isle of Wight

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Deliveries across Isle of Wight need a ferry crossing, so each one is quoted with the crossing included.

  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around PO are priced to the exact address.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • On busy streets in Isle of Wight, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Picking the right product

Compaction

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

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.

Common questions from Isle of Wight

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Isle of Wight?

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.

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.

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Isle of Wight?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

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.
