MOT Type 1 Sub-base delivered to Rottingdean
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.
Trades and homeowners in Rottingdean can order MOT Type 1 for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

Delivery to Rottingdean: what helps
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Rottingdean is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
Getting the right MOT Type 1
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
An 8 × 4 m area at 150 mm compacted is 4.8 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 11.1 tonnes, or around 14 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
MOT Type 1 Sub-base 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.
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Rottingdean?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
