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.

Delivery to Manchester: what helps
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Manchester is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- In summer Manchester gets around 17h 02m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

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

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.
