MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well

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.

Delivering MOT Type 1 in Newtown

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

  • On busy streets in Newtown, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • With roughly 7h 39m of daylight in Newtown around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Ordering MOT Type 1 for Newtown: FAQs

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

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.

Does Type 1 drain?

Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.

Can I add other materials to my Newtown 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.
