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.
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
Planning the drop in Buxton
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Buxton is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base questions
Can I add other materials to my Buxton delivery?
Yes. Put everything on one list, from MOT Type 1 to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
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 Buxton?
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.
