MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well
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.
Virgin or recycled?
Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.
Getting MOT Type 1 onto your Fleetwood site
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Fleetwood is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around FY7 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.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
Quantities: a worked example
A 4 × 6 m area at 100 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
