Before you order 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.

How delivery works in Tewkesbury

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Tewkesbury is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• In summer Tewkesbury gets around 16h 44m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• On busy streets in Tewkesbury, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Quantities: a worked example

A 6 × 3 m area at 100 mm compacted is 1.8 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 4.2 tonnes, or around 5 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

Common questions from Tewkesbury

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Tewkesbury?

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.

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 Tewkesbury?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
