Before you order MOT Type 1
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
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 Bexley: what helps
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Bexley is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- With roughly 7h 50m of daylight in Bexley around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- In summer Bexley gets around 16h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
How much will you need?
A 4 × 3 m area at 150 mm compacted is 1.8 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 4.2 tonnes, or around 5 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
