Getting the right MOT Type 1

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.

Yes. We deliver across Morecambe, including LA4, LA3, LA2, LA1. Morecambe is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.
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.
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.
