MOT Type 1 Sub-base: choosing well
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.
Getting MOT Type 1 onto your Workington site
Bulk bags are usually crane-offloaded where access allows; very large quantities can be priced as loose tipped loads where access allows. Workington is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- On busy streets in Workington, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
MOT Type 1 Sub-base questions
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.
Can I add other materials to my Workington 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.
Can you deliver MOT Type 1 to a site with restricted access in Workington?
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.
Does Type 1 drain?
Type 1 is reasonably free-draining when compacted, which is one reason it is used under drives and patios.
