Things to check before you order
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.
Sizing your order
A 6 × 6 m area at 150 mm compacted is 5.4 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 12.5 tonnes, or around 15 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
Before your Chingford delivery arrives
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Chingford is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- In summer Chingford gets around 16h 40m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base questions
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.
What is the difference between Type 1 and scalpings?
Type 1 is graded to a specification so it compacts into a strong, stable layer. Scalpings are less controlled and suit less demanding areas.
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Chingford?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
Can I add other materials to my Chingford 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.
