MOT Type 1 Sub-base delivered to Poole
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.
Whether it is a repair, an extension or a new build in Poole, we can supply the MOT Type 1 and deliver to site.

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.
A quick quantity check
A 10 × 3 m area at 100 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
Before your Poole delivery arrives
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Poole is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- With roughly 7h 57m of daylight in Poole around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
Common questions from Poole
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
Can I add other materials to my Poole 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.
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.

Yes. We deliver across Poole, including BH15, BH14, BH17, BH18. Poole is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.
