Choosing MOT Type 1
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.
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
Delivery to Blackburn: what helps
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Blackburn is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- On busy streets in Blackburn, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base questions
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to Blackburn?
Yes. We deliver across Blackburn, including BB1, BB2, BB3. Blackburn is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.
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.
What is the difference between Type 1 and scalpings?
Type 1 is graded to a specification so it compacts into a strong, stable layer. Scalpings are less controlled and suit less demanding areas.
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Blackburn?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
