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.

Compaction

Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.

Getting MOT Type 1 onto your Nottingham site

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• On busy streets in Nottingham, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

How much will you need?

An 8 × 4 m area at 100 mm compacted is 3.2 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 7.4 tonnes, or around 9 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

Your questions answered

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.

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.

Can I add other materials to my Nottingham delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from MOT Type 1 to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Nottingham?

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.
