Before your Mid Glamorgan delivery arrives
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 Mid Glamorgan.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- On busy streets in Mid Glamorgan, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
Things to check before you order
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 Mid Glamorgan: FAQs
How deep should a driveway sub-base be?
Around 150 mm of compacted MOT Type 1 is common for domestic drives on firm ground; soft ground or heavier vehicles need more. Follow your installer or the paving maker's guidance.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Mid Glamorgan?
There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Mid Glamorgan?
We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
