Planning the drop in St Andrews

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. St Andrews is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• With roughly 6h 52m of daylight in St Andrews around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• On busy streets in St Andrews, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well

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.

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 St Andrews: questions

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in St Andrews?

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.

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.

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 deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in St Andrews?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
