Before you order MOT Type 1
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
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.
Estimating your MOT Type 1
An 8 × 5 m area at 100 mm compacted is 4 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 9.2 tonnes, or around 11 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
Planning the drop in Canterbury
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Canterbury is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
Ordering MOT Type 1 for Canterbury: FAQs
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Canterbury?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
Can you tip it loose?
For larger quantities we can price a loose tipped load if the lorry can reach and there is space to tip.
Can I add other materials to my Canterbury 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.
