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.
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.
Getting MOT Type 1 onto your Caerphilly site
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Caerphilly 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.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- With roughly 7h 49m of daylight in Caerphilly around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

A 5 × 5 m area at 150 mm compacted is 3.75 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 8.7 tonnes, or around 11 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Caerphilly: questions
How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Caerphilly?
We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
Can I add other materials to my Caerphilly 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.
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.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
