  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • In summer Newbury gets around 16h 37m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

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.

Virgin or recycled?

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.

Questions about MOT Type 1 delivery in Newbury

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 Newbury?

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

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.

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.
