MOT Type 1

MOT type 1 is a granular sub-base material that meets the requirements of the Department of Transport Specification for Highways Work (SHW) and is certified for public road construction.
Other uses of Type 1 MOT include:
• Building bases
• Car parks
• Driveways
• Footpaths
• Highways
• Patios
• Ponds
• Sheds

Although it’s one of the most aesthetically pleasing aggregates, once levelled out, a weed membrane can be added to the MOT type 1 sub-base and topped off with attractive gravel.

A huge bonus of this type of crushed concrete aggregate is that it assists with drainage and is comprised of larger stones which means it won’t wash away easily during harsh weather conditions.

The price of MOT type 1 hardcore can vary considerably depending on whether you wish to buy loose aggregate or bulk bags and how much you require. However, this aggregate is highly cost-effective and popular because of how easy it is to manufacture.

It works out slightly cheaper if you opt for loose aggregate but, here at Grundy & Co Excavations, we offer bulk discounts and can deliver it to your site in Cheshire or Merseyside, within as little as 48 hours.

MOT Type 1 is an aggregate that’s made up of various materials, including limestone, crushed concrete and granite.

Type 1 hardcore is commonly used for domestic and commercial applications, such as bulk fill, levelling, and a sub-base for patios, driveways, pavements and gardens. When levelled out, a suitable membrane can be applied and then topped off with attractive gravel.

MOT Type 2, on the other hand, is a finer type of crushed aggregate – composed of fewer angular stones (also known as scalpings).

This type of aggregate compacts nicely to form a free-draining base for paths, walkways, patios and driveways, and can also be used as a backfill material or to fill potholes.
