MOT Type 1 Bulk Bag

MOT Type 1 Bulk Bag

Lawsons’ Bulk Bag of MOT Type 1—also known as DOT Type 1—is a high-quality sub-base material made from 40 mm to dust crushed aggregate. Supplied in an 875 kg bulk bag, it is designed for use beneath a wide range of surfaces where strength, stability, and reliable compaction are essential. This compacted sub-base material is useful alongside building sand and ballast on groundwork projects, helping customers looking for sand and ballast suppliers source materials for paths, patios, driveways and foundations. This aggregate conforms to the Department of Transport Specification for Highway Works Clause 803, ensuring it meets the required standard for road-building and heavy-duty ground preparation. Its blend of coarse particles and fine material allows it to compact tightly, creating a strong, stable foundation for roads, driveways, footpaths, car parks, building bases, and hard standings. As it is naturally sourced, colour and texture may vary, but quality and performance remain consistent.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
