Thanks for the replies.
Any ideas on where I can order a few tonnes of MOT Type 1 Limestone from in
North Devon, and what sort of price I will pay?
Are builders merchants (Travis Perkins, Jewsons, etc) the best place to
order such things from?


I don't know how you go about ordering limestone in Devon.

Quarries tend to deal in 20 tonne minimum loads so would charge you
extra for part loads. When I had 66 tonne of quarry waste recently I had
60 tonnes from a Dales quarry and 6 tonnes from a local builders
merchant. I can't put my hands on the figures right now but I am sure
the builders merchant would have been the cheaper option for the last 6
tonnes. But get it delivered loose if you can. One tonne bags don't
contain a full tonne and cost significantly more per tonne as well.
