Ordering MOT Type 1 for Stroud: FAQs

Can you deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Stroud?

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.

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.

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Stroud?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
