MOT Type 1 Sub-base delivered to Clydebank
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.
We deliver MOT Type 1 to sites, driveways and yards across Clydebank, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well
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.
Delivering MOT Type 1 in Clydebank
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Clydebank is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- With roughly 6h 58m of daylight in Clydebank around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
- On busy streets in Clydebank, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

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
Questions about MOT Type 1 delivery in Clydebank
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.
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.
Can I add other materials to my Clydebank 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.
Can you deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Clydebank?
Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
