Delivery to Sudbury: what helps

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around CO10 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Sizing your order

A 6 × 3 m area at 100 mm compacted is 1.8 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 4.2 tonnes, or around 5 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

Before you order MOT Type 1

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.

Your questions answered

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.

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

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.

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 Sudbury?

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