Getting the right MOT Type 1

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.

Compaction

Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.

Delivery to Farnborough: what helps

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Farnborough 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.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• In summer Farnborough gets around 16h 36m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Quantities: a worked example

A 5 × 6 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

MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Farnborough: questions

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

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.

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.

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Farnborough?

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.
