Planning the drop in Norfolk
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 Norfolk.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well
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.
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
Your questions answered
How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Norfolk?
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.
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.
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Norfolk?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
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.
