- In summer West Bromwich gets around 16h 50m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
Before you order MOT Type 1
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.
Quantities: a worked example
A 4 × 3 m area at 100 mm compacted is 1.2 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 2.8 tonnes, or around 4 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
