Choosing 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.

Quantities: a worked example

A 5 × 3 m area at 100 mm compacted is 1.5 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 3.5 tonnes, or around 5 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

Your questions answered

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Walton-on-Thames?

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

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.

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Walton-on-Thames?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
