We are working on the new shed in the garden, and dug out some plants, and dug out the soils as well.
Now it is the stage where we need to put down MOT Type1 Sub base into the soil.

But where would be best place to order it?
The local B&Q branch has been showing OUT OF STOCK for days, and seems to be getting really bad reviews for the quality and amount in the bag (much less than what it says).

The other place we could see selling and delivering the material is Travis Perkins, but we have never used them before, and knows nothing on what and how they trade.

Any ideas or recommendations?
Thank you
 
Local gravel yard will drop off a ton or more or buy in bags from there.
All the building merchants sell as well

Did some search on Local Gravel Yards, but nothing better came up either in quality, price or delivery aspects.
Some traders which I have never heard of popped up, but their price were as high or even higher as / than B&Q or Travis Perkins.
There was also Jewson, but they were most expensive, and offered nothing really better.

Travis Perkins were offering 20% discount for items bought this month July 2024, and their Free Delivery over £100 of orders and 20% discount sounds most attractive option of all.
 
Cheapest place is straight from the quarry, but you will need a suitable vehicle!

If buying big amount of the sub base, then it would be good idea to get them from the quarry hiring a van provided the quarry was near enough.
