Planning the drop in Leicestershire

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Leicestershire.

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Getting the right MOT Type 1

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.

Your questions answered

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to Leicestershire?

Yes. We deliver across Leicestershire, including LE, CV. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Leicestershire. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

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.

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.

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

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.
