MOT Type 1 Sub-base for Oban, delivered to site

MOT Type 1 is a crushed stone sub-base, graded from 31.5 mm (often sold as 40 mm) down to dust, that compacts into a firm, free-draining layer under driveways, patios, paths and floor slabs.

We deliver MOT Type 1 to sites, driveways and yards across Oban, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

Delivering MOT Type 1 in Oban

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Oban is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • With roughly 6h 51m of daylight in Oban around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

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.

How much will you need?

A 5 × 5 m area at 150 mm compacted is 3.75 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 8.7 tonnes, or around 11 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Oban: questions

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 Oban?

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 tip it loose?

For larger quantities we can price a loose tipped load if the lorry can reach and there is space to tip.
