Before your Liverpool delivery arrives
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Liverpool is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around L1 are priced to the exact address.
Getting the right MOT Type 1
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
Virgin or recycled?
Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.
Ordering MOT Type 1 for Liverpool: FAQs
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Liverpool?
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.
Can I add other materials to my Liverpool delivery?
Yes. Put everything on one list, from MOT Type 1 to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
