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.

Compaction

Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.

Common questions from Newcastle upon Tyne

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 Newcastle upon Tyne?

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.

Can you deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Newcastle upon Tyne?

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.

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.
