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.

Sizing your order

A 5 × 6 m area at 100 mm compacted is 3 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 6.9 tonnes, or around 9 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

Delivery to Great Malvern: what helps

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around WR14 are priced to the exact address.

Your questions answered

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Great Malvern?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Great Malvern?

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 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.
