Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
Delivery to Doncaster: what helps
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Doncaster is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around DN1 are priced to the exact address.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
How much will you need?
A 4 × 4 m area at 150 mm compacted is 2.4 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 5.5 tonnes, or around 7 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
MOT Type 1 Sub-base questions
Can I add other materials to my Doncaster 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.
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Doncaster?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
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.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
