MOT Type 1 Limestone – 900kg Bulk Bag

About this item:
Bulk Type 1 MOT Limestone is a high-quality, crushed aggregate widely used as a sub-base material in construction and landscaping projects. Produced to the Ministry of Transport (MOT) specification, it provides a stable and reliable foundation for roads, driveways, paths, patios, and other heavy-use areas. Its mix of fines and larger crushed limestone pieces compacts well to form a strong, load-bearing base layer that resists sinking, shifting, and erosion.
