Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.

A 6 × 5 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
How delivery works in Sevenoaks
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Sevenoaks 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.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
- On busy streets in Sevenoaks, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base in Sevenoaks: questions
Can you deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Sevenoaks?
Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
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.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Sevenoaks?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
