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.
Getting MOT Type 1 onto your Ruislip site
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Ruislip is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
Estimating your MOT Type 1
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

What is the difference between Type 1 and scalpings?
