Delivery to West Glamorgan: 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 West Glamorgan.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
- On busy streets in West Glamorgan, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
Getting the right MOT Type 1
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
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.
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.
How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in West Glamorgan?
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.
How deep should a driveway sub-base be?
Around 150 mm of compacted MOT Type 1 is common for domestic drives on firm ground; soft ground or heavier vehicles need more. Follow your installer or the paving maker's guidance.
Is there a minimum order for delivery to West Glamorgan?
There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
