Frequently Asked Questions

Is MOT Type 1 the same as ballast?

No – MOT Type 1 isn’t the same as ballast.

Ballast is a crushed aggregate generally used to form the bed of a railway track or road, but has other uses in various domestic or commercial settings.

Railway ballast is generally larger, at between 30-50mm, while MOT Type 1 is around 40mm, meaning you can’t use the two aggregates interchangeably if you run out of either, despite them being close in size.

Doing so can affect the structural integrity of your project and invalidate any insurance, leading to very costly mistakes.

If you need to order today, you can use our quick contact form or send us an email to sales@grundyandco.com and we’ll call you to see how we can help!

What size is MOT Type 1?

MOT Type 1 is a crushed aggregate, made up of recovered demolition materials that range in size – usually from 40mm to dust.

Sometimes referred to as subbase, MOT Type 1 is used because it is compactable, thanks to edges interlocking when compressed.

This adds strength and allows for solid structures like roads, patios, driveways, car parks etc., to be built over the top, without concerns for their structural stability.

Where should MOT Type 1 be stored?

If you have spare MOT Type 1 or your project has been delayed, you might be wondering how best to store your aggregate to keep it in the best condition.

To ensure the quality of your recycled aggregates is not put at risk, you should:

Store on a hard, flat, clean surface that is level
Keep MOT Type 1 away from other aggregates to avoid cross-contamination
Monitor moisture levels and store aggregates in the moisture level they prefer, for example, cement must be kept completely dry
Stack in a pyramid stockpile if loose or place into bins with high sides so overspill doesn’t contaminate another adjacent bin
