How delivery works in Sandown
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Sandown needs a ferry crossing, so deliveries are quoted individually with the crossing included.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around PO36 are priced to the exact address.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
Choosing MOT Type 1
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
Virgin or recycled?
Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Sandown: questions
How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Sandown?
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 Sandown?
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.
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.
