Planning the drop in Bordon

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

• In summer Bordon gets around 16h 34m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Things to check before you order

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.

Working out quantities for your Bordon job

A 5 × 3 m area at 150 mm compacted is 2.25 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 5.2 tonnes, or around 7 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

MOT Type 1 Sub-base questions

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.

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

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.

Does Type 1 drain?

Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.

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

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