Delivering MOT Type 1 in Scarborough
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Scarborough is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
Picking the right product
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.
