How delivery works in Pontefract
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Pontefract is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- On busy streets in Pontefract, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around WF8 are priced to the exact address.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well
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.
Common questions from Pontefract
How deep should a driveway sub-base be?
