How delivery works in Rutland
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 Rutland.
- 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 LE are priced to the exact address.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
Things to check before you order
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.
Questions about MOT Type 1 delivery in Rutland
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Rutland?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Rutland?
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.
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.
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.
