MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well

Virgin or recycled?

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.

How deep?

Patios and paths commonly use around 100 mm of compacted sub-base, and domestic driveways around 150 mm or more. Soft ground or heavier vehicles need more; your designer or installer will confirm.

Delivery to Basingstoke: what helps

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Basingstoke is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around RG21 are priced to the exact address.

Quantities: a worked example

An 8 × 5 m area at 100 mm compacted is 4 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 9.2 tonnes, or around 11 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Basingstoke: questions

Can you deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Basingstoke?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Basingstoke?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

How deep should a driveway sub-base be?

Around 150 mm of compacted MOT Type 1 is common for domestic drives on firm ground; soft ground or heavier vehicles need more. Follow your installer or the paving maker's guidance.

How much MOT Type 1 do I need?

Multiply the area by the compacted depth to get cubic metres, then allow about 2.1 to 2.2 tonnes per cubic metre. At 100 mm deep, a tonne covers roughly 4.5 square metres.
