Choosing 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.

Virgin or recycled?

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.

Before your Gosforth delivery arrives

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Gosforth is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• On busy streets in Gosforth, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

MOT Type 1 Sub-base questions

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.

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

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Gosforth?

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.

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.
