MOT Type 1 Sub-base for Dover, delivered to site
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 Dover, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

Getting MOT Type 1 onto your Dover site
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Dover is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- On busy streets in Dover, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
Choosing MOT Type 1
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
Virgin or recycled?
Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.
Common questions from Dover
How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Dover?
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.
Can you tip it loose?
For larger quantities we can price a loose tipped load if the lorry can reach and there is space to tip.
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.
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Dover?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
