Things to check before you order

Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
How much will you need?
A 6 × 3 m area at 150 mm compacted is 2.7 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 6.2 tonnes, or around 8 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
Delivery to Greenford: what helps
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Greenford is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

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.
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.
