Ordering MOT Type 1 for Renfrewshire and Inverclyde: FAQs

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

What is the difference between Type 1 and scalpings?

Type 1 is graded to a specification so it compacts into a strong, stable layer. Scalpings are less controlled and suit less demanding areas.

How much MOT Type 1 do I need?

Multiply the area by the compacted depth to get cubic metres, then allow about 2.1 to 2.2 tonnes per cubic metre. At 100 mm deep, a tonne covers roughly 4.5 square metres.
