MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well
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.
A quick quantity check
A 10 × 4 m area at 100 mm compacted is 4 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 9.2 tonnes, or around 11 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
Delivery to Ipswich: what helps
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Ipswich 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.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
Common questions from Ipswich
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Ipswich?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
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.
