Do I need MOT Type one or can I use a cheaper alternative Type ?

  • Choose MOT Type 1 CL803 When:

    Building Regulations Required: Your project needs structural certification or building control approval.

    Highway Specification: The work is on or near a public road or requires highways agency standards.

    Frost Protection Needed: Your area experiences freeze-thaw cycles that could damage inferior materials.

    Commercial/Industrial: Professional-grade specification is required for liability or performance reasons.

    Long-term Durability: You need proven, certified performance over many years.

  • Choose Standard Type 1 When:

    Domestic Projects: Building a patio, shed base, or garden feature on your own property.

    Budget Conscious: You want reliable performance without premium specification costs.

Understanding Type 1 Aggregate

Type 1 aggregate is a crushed stone or gravel material used as a sub-base layer in construction projects. It provides a stable foundation for roads, driveways, patios, and building projects.

Two main options are available:

MOT Type 1 Sub Base (CL803 Certified) - This is the premium specification, certified to CL803 standards for highways and frost protection. It's ideal for projects requiring building regulations compliance, such as driveways that need structural certification or areas prone to frost damage. This is the professional choice for demanding applications.

Standard Type 1 45mm Down Limestone - This is the cost-effective option for domestic projects. Perfect for patios, shed bases, general groundwork, and landscaping projects where highways specification isn't required. It provides excellent drainage and stability at a more affordable price point.

How to choose: If your project requires building regulations approval or is a highway/driveway with frost protection needs, choose MOT Type 1 CL803. For domestic patios, shed bases, and general groundwork, Standard Type 1 is the practical, economical choice.

Need Clean Limestone for Drainage?

If you're planning drainage applications like soakaways, French drains, or permeable driveways, clean limestone (without fines) is often a better choice than Type 1 aggregate.

Why clean limestone for drainage:

  • Superior drainage: Clean limestone has minimal fines, allowing water to flow freely through the material
  • Soakaways: Ideal for creating effective water infiltration systems
  • French drains: Provides excellent permeability for subsurface drainage
  • Permeable surfaces: Perfect for eco-friendly driveways and patios that allow water to drain naturally
  • Prevents waterlogging: Keeps your project dry and prevents water pooling

Type 1 contains fines (dust and clay) which can reduce drainage efficiency. If drainage is your priority, clean limestone is the specialist choice.
