Delivery to Staffordshire: what helps
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 Staffordshire.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around ST are priced to the exact address.
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.
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Staffordshire: questions
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to Staffordshire?
Yes. We deliver across Staffordshire, including ST, DE, WS, B. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Staffordshire. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.
Can I add other materials to my Staffordshire delivery?
Yes. Put everything on one list, from MOT Type 1 to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
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.
