MOT Type 1 Aggregate Bulk Bag
Whether you’re building a new driveway, laying a patio, installing paving or constructing a pathway, a strong foundation is essential for a long-lasting finish. Our MOT Type 1 Aggregate Bulk Bag provides a durable, compactable sub-base designed to create a firm and stable base beneath paving, concrete and asphalt surfaces.
Manufactured from crushed limestone or granite that complies with the Department for Transport’s Specification for Highway Works, MOT Type 1 is one of the most widely used construction aggregates throughout the UK. The material contains particles ranging from dust up to 40mm, allowing it to compact tightly and create an exceptionally strong foundation capable of supporting heavy loads.
Ideal for both professional contractors and DIY projects, our bulk bags contain approximately 850kg of aggregate (coverage varies depending on depth) and are suitable for a wide variety of construction and landscaping applications.
