Choosing MOT Type 1
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
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.
Before your Litherland delivery arrives
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Litherland is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- On busy streets in Litherland, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- In summer Litherland gets around 17h 02m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
A quick quantity check
A 10 × 3 m area at 150 mm compacted is 4.5 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 10.4 tonnes, or around 13 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Litherland: questions
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Litherland?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
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.
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Litherland?
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.
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.
