What Is MOT Type 1?

MOT Type 1 is the most widely used sub base aggregate in the UK for driveways and patios, making it essential for professional landscaping and groundwork preparation. The blend of larger stones and fines ensures:

• Excellent compaction

• Minimal voids

• Strong load-bearing performance

• Long-term stability

When compacted correctly, MOT Type 1 creates a firm and level base that prevents movement in the finished surface.

What Are Bags of MOT Used For?

MOT Type 1 bulk bags are commonly used for:

• Driveway sub-bases

• Patio foundations

• Shed bases

• Garden paths

• Road and access routes

• Under artificial grass

It is essential for any project where a strong, stable foundation is required. For concrete production, you may also require our 20mm ballast bulk bags.
