Order MOT Type 1 for delivery in Campbeltown

MOT Type 1 is a crushed stone sub-base, graded from 31.5 mm (often sold as 40 mm) down to dust, that compacts into a firm, free-draining layer under driveways, patios, paths and floor slabs.

Trades and homeowners in Campbeltown can order MOT Type 1 for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

Before your Campbeltown delivery arrives

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Campbeltown is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

  • With roughly 7h 04m of daylight in Campbeltown around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
  • In summer Campbeltown gets around 17h 29m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

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.

Your questions answered

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.
