Getting the right 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.

Before your Billingham delivery arrives

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• In summer Billingham gets around 17h 17m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
