Getting the right MOT Type 1

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

- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- On busy streets in Rochdale, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Questions about MOT Type 1 delivery in Rochdale
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 soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Rochdale?
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.
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Rochdale?
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.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
