MOT Type 1 Bulk Bag

MOT Type 1 – High-Quality Sub-Base Aggregate for Driveways, Paths and Construction

MOT Type 1 is the industry-standard sub-base material used across construction, groundwork and landscaping projects. Made from crushed limestone or granite, this durable aggregate provides a strong, stable foundation for driveways, patios, footpaths, roads, shed bases and all load-bearing surfaces. Its excellent compaction properties make it one of the most reliable and widely used aggregates in the UK.

When compacted, MOT Type 1 forms a solid, level layer that supports paving, concrete, tarmac and blockwork. Its mix of crushed stone and fines helps bind the material together, reducing movement and preventing sinking or rutting over time. This makes it essential for any project needing long-term structural stability. Whether you’re preparing a new driveway or building a garden base, MOT Type 1 ensures a professional, long-lasting finish.

Our MOT Type 1 is certified and screened to meet industry standards, ensuring consistent quality and dependable performance across domestic and commercial projects. Supplied in bulk bags, it offers excellent coverage and value for larger installations.
