Delivering MOT Type 1 in Moray
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Across most of Moray, deliveries are quoted individually because of the distance and access.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
Before you order 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.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Moray: questions
Can I add other materials to my Moray 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.
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 soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Moray?
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.
