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.
Compaction
Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.
Before your Stowmarket delivery arrives
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Stowmarket is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around IP14 are priced to the exact address.
Working out quantities for your Stowmarket job
A 4 × 4 m area at 100 mm compacted is 1.6 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 3.7 tonnes, or around 5 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
MOT Type 1 Sub-base questions
Can I add other materials to my Stowmarket 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.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Stowmarket?
We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
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.
