Getting MOT Type 1 onto your Chesterfield site

- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- In summer Chesterfield gets around 16h 59m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well
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.
Your questions answered
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.
