Things to check before you order

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.

Delivering MOT Type 1 in Wellington

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

  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around TF1 are priced to the exact address.
  • On busy streets in Wellington, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Ordering MOT Type 1 for Wellington: FAQs

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.

Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Wellington?

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

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.

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Wellington?

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.
