Before your Mangotsfield delivery arrives

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

  • With roughly 7h 50m of daylight in Mangotsfield around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Estimating your MOT Type 1

A 10 × 6 m area at 150 mm compacted is 9 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 20.8 tonnes, or around 25 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

Getting the right 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.

Questions about MOT Type 1 delivery in Mangotsfield

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.

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 I add other materials to my Mangotsfield 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.

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Mangotsfield?

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