Delivery to Wick: what helps

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Wick is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• With roughly 6h 20m of daylight in Wick around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Things to check before you order

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.

Sizing your order

A 4 × 3 m area at 150 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

Common questions from Wick

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.

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

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Wick?

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.
