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.
A quick quantity check
A 5 × 5 m area at 100 mm compacted is 2.5 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 5.8 tonnes, or around 7 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator
Getting MOT Type 1 onto your Willesden site
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Willesden is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
- Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
Common questions from Willesden
Do you deliver MOT Type 1 to trades and homeowners in Willesden?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
Can you deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Willesden?
Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
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.
