Things to check before you order

Virgin or recycled?

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

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.

How much will you need?

A 5 × 4 m area at 150 mm compacted is 3 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 6.9 tonnes, or around 9 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

Planning the drop in Newtownabbey

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• With roughly 7h 14m of daylight in Newtownabbey around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Newtownabbey: questions

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Newtownabbey?

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.

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.

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Newtownabbey?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
