• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Things to check before you order

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.

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 in Winchester: questions

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 deep should a driveway sub-base be?

Around 150 mm of compacted MOT Type 1 is common for domestic drives on firm ground; soft ground or heavier vehicles need more. Follow your installer or the paving maker's guidance.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Winchester?

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.

Can I add other materials to my Winchester delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from MOT Type 1 to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
