Choosing MOT Type 1
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.
Planning the drop in Longton
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Longton is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- In summer Longton gets around 16h 56m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- On busy streets in Longton, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
