MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well

Virgin or recycled?

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.

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.

Sizing your order

An 8 × 5 m area at 150 mm compacted is 6 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 13.9 tonnes, or around 17 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• In summer Thetford gets around 16h 49m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

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.

How much MOT Type 1 do I need?

Multiply the area by the compacted depth to get cubic metres, then allow about 2.1 to 2.2 tonnes per cubic metre. At 100 mm deep, a tonne covers roughly 4.5 square metres.
