Things to check before you order
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 Deeside
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Deeside is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

A 6 × 5 m area at 150 mm compacted is 4.5 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 10.4 tonnes, or around 13 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
Ordering MOT Type 1 for Deeside: FAQs
Can I add other materials to my Deeside 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.
How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Deeside?
We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
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.
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.
