Before you order 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.

Estimating your MOT Type 1

A 10 × 4 m area at 150 mm compacted is 6 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 13.9 tonnes, or around 17 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

Before your Nailsea delivery arrives

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• On busy streets in Nailsea, 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.

MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Nailsea: questions

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.

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.

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Nailsea?

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 deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Nailsea?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
