Top-quality MOT type 1 aggregate

MOT Type 1 is typically made from limestone, crushed concrete and granite. As a crushed granite sub-base, it ensures a flat and compact surface with excellent load-bearing capacity. The varying particle sizes interlock and distribute weight evenly to prevent settlement.

Type 1 hardcore is approved by the Ministry of Transport. It provides a stable and durable sub-base for high-traffic road surfaces and pavement construction and can be used to create a hardcore base for patios, driveways and artificial grass.

Whilst there are several reasons why more and more people are choosing MOT Type 1 in Liverpool, one of the main ones is that it is a recycled aggregate. This means that it’s generally cheaper to manufacture than raw materials. And, when locally sourced, can save you money on transportation costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is MOT Type 1?

MOT Type 1 is a crushed aggregate, made from recovered materials that range in size from 40mm to dust. Sometimes referred to as subbase, MOT Type 1 granules interlock when compacted, adding strength and allowing for solid structures like roads, patios, driveways, car parks etc., to be constructed safely over the top. For bagged or loose-tipped MOT Type 1 delivered to your site, fill in the enquiry form on your screen or email us at sales@grundyandco.com with your project requirements and we’ll get back to you.

Does MOT Type 1 allow for drainage?

Absolutely – MOT Type 1 is permeable, which allows for adequate drainage in construction and landscaping projects. Once compacted the MOT Type 1 is structurally strong, but tiny gaps in the aggregate remain, that water can use to drain – albeit slowly. If you are looking for an aggregate that will work best with a Sustainable Drainage System, consider MOT Type 3. Need recycled MOT Type in Liverpool, St Helens, or Runcorn?

Is MOT Type 1 the same as ballast?

Simply put, no. Ballast is a crushed aggregate most commonly used to form the bed of a railway track or road, but it can also be used in other domestic or commercial settings. It is not always possible to use ballast and MOT Type 1 interchangeably as the gravel sizes differ between the two: railway ballast is between 30-50mm, while MOT Type 1 is around 40mm.
