MOT Type 1 Sub-base questions

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Dewsbury?

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.

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

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 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.
