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.

Virgin or recycled?

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.

Delivery to Cumbernauld: what helps

• With roughly 6h 57m of daylight in Cumbernauld around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Common questions from Cumbernauld

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Cumbernauld?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

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 much MOT Type 1 do I need?

Multiply the area by the compacted depth to get cubic metres, then allow about 2.1 to 2.2 tonnes per cubic metre. At 100 mm deep, a tonne covers roughly 4.5 square metres.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Cumbernauld?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
