MOT Type 1 Sub-base delivered to Inverurie

MOT Type 1 is a crushed stone sub-base, graded from 31.5 mm (often sold as 40 mm) down to dust, that compacts into a firm, free-draining layer under driveways, patios, paths and floor slabs.

We deliver MOT Type 1 to sites, driveways and yards across Inverurie, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

  • With roughly 6h 38m of daylight in Inverurie around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • 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 Inverurie gets around 17h 58m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Choosing MOT Type 1

Compaction

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

Virgin or recycled?

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

Questions about MOT Type 1 delivery in Inverurie

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Inverurie?

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 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 Inverurie?

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.
