MOT Type 1 Sub-base delivery in Wiltshire

MOT Type 1 is a crushed stone sub-base, graded from 31.5 mm (often sold as 40 mm) down to dust, that compacts into a firm, free-draining layer under driveways, patios, paths and floor slabs.

Across Wiltshire, from Swindon to Chippenham, we supply MOT Type 1 delivered to site with the price and date confirmed in writing.

How delivery works in Wiltshire

Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Wiltshire.

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Before you order 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.

Can you tip it loose?

Type 1 is graded to a specification so it compacts into a strong, stable layer. Scalpings are less controlled and suit less demanding areas.
