MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well

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.

Delivery to Maghull: what helps

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Maghull is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • With roughly 7h 28m of daylight in Maghull around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Ordering MOT Type 1 for Maghull: FAQs

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.

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.

Can I add other materials to my Maghull 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.

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

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.
