MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well

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.

Before your Lytham St Annes delivery arrives

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

  • In summer Lytham St Annes gets around 17h 05m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • On busy streets in Lytham St Annes, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

MOT Type 1 Sub-base questions

Can I add other materials to my Lytham St Annes delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from MOT Type 1 to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Does Type 1 drain?

Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Lytham St Annes?

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.

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.
