Getting the right 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.
Before your Warrington delivery arrives
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Warrington 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.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
A quick quantity check
A 10 × 5 m area at 100 mm compacted is 5 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 11.6 tonnes, or around 14 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
