Order MOT Type 1 for delivery in Wimbledon

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.

Trades and homeowners in Wimbledon can order MOT Type 1 for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

MOT Type 1 Sub-base we supply in Wimbledon

  • ScalpingsCheaper granular fill for less demanding areas.
  • Bulk bags and loose loadsBulk bags for most jobs; loose loads where access and volume suit.
  • Recycled Type 1Crushed recycled aggregate graded as Type 1, where suitable.
  • HardcoreBroken masonry fill for bulking up ground.

Delivery to Wimbledon: what helps

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

  • In summer Wimbledon gets around 16h 37m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Sizing your order

A 5 × 6 m area at 150 mm compacted is 4.5 m³. At about 2.1 tonnes per cubic metre plus 10% that is 10.4 tonnes, or around 13 bulk bags. Try the sub-base calculator

Picking the right product

Compaction

Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.

Virgin or recycled?

Recycled Type 1 can be a good option where it meets the specification; ask what your project or local authority requires.

MOT Type 1 Sub-base questions

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Wimbledon?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Does Type 1 drain?

Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
