How delivery works in Weston-super-Mare

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Quantities: a worked example

A 5 × 3 m area at 100 mm compacted is 1.5 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 3.5 tonnes, or around 5 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

Choosing 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.

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.

MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Weston-super-Mare: questions

Can I add other materials to my Weston-super-Mare 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.

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Weston-super-Mare?

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

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 tip it loose?

For larger quantities we can price a loose tipped load if the lorry can reach and there is space to tip.
