Delivery to Rugby: what helps
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Rugby is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- On busy streets in Rugby, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
Choosing 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.
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
A quick quantity check
An 8 × 6 m area at 100 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
