What is Type 1 MOT?
Aggregates, otherwise known as hardcore aggregates, are the base layer laid under building works such as patios, driveways, paved sections etc. Aggregates can be made up of many different materials including gravel, sand, recycled concrete, topsoil and geosynthetics.
Type 1 MOT is an aggregate that can be made up of many different materials including limestone, crushed concrete and granite. There are many different types of type 1 MOT, mostly based upon size and material. It can be ordered in sizes such as 30mm down to limestone dust, or in even smaller sizes such as 2-6mm granite. The Type 1 MOT is available in 20Kg bags right up to multiple tonnes which allows access to orders from a homeowner building a patio or a large construction company. All of our Type 1 is Granite-type
What Does MOT Type 1 Aggregates Mean?
The name that binds these types of aggregates together refers to the Ministry Of Transport (MOT). All aggregates sold as Type 1 MOT are approved to be used in the construction of highways and pavements as well as for private use. As an aggregate, Type 1 MOT compacts well and provides a solid base for many types of construction projects. Although not required for private groundworks, the MOT approval signifies that Type 1 aggregates have the properties required to provide a safe and reliable hardcore layer for your building project.
As well as being suitable for standard building projects such as patios or driveways, Type 1 MOT is also perfect for trench filling, backfilling and over-site fills.
