What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

We specialise in crushed primary materials and crushed concrete. Limestone and granite are primary building materials that are known for being strong and long-lasting. Concrete is more affordable and can handle heavy loads. 

Our materials range from 20mm to 75mms. Some of the batches that we produce contain a range of sizes. Others only contain large chunks of hardcore materials. We sell a crushed product that suits every kind of construction task.

MOT Type 1

What is MOT Type 1?

The acronym MOT is given to crushed materials that are approved for use in transport sub bases. 

This type of MOT contains a combination of limestone and granite. Our drivers go to quarries in and around St Albans to collect the materials. They grind the limestone and granite together to create smaller chunks. Our batches of MOT Type 1 contain pieces that range from dust to 40mm. 

Once the sub base is in place, contractors can place heavy formations on top. Lots of contractors use Type 1 for motorway sub bases.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

Recycled MOT is more affordable than regular MOT.

We source concrete and other aggregates from demolition sites in and around St Albans. Our drivers use wide clam buckets to collect the concrete. The buckets also scoop up other hardcore materials.

Contractors can expect to find a combination of crushed concrete and crushed aggregates in their batch of Recycled Type 1 MOT. The pieces range from dust to 40mm. 

We recommend this product for sub bases. It is affordable, durable, and strong. It can hold a range of heavy formations.

MOT Type 2 Clean

What does MOT Type 2 stand for? 

Products that have the acronym MOT in the title have been approved for use in sub bases. Lots of our customers also buy MOT Type 2 for drainage systems. 

Our drivers collect limestone and granite from quarries and grind them together to form 40mm chunks. We test the materials and remove all the fine pieces of dust. When all the dust is removed, the batch is perfect for drainage systems. 

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

This product contains sturdy crushed aggregates. 

Our drivers collect the materials for 6F2 Recycled Aggregates from demolition sites. They scoop up a range of materials including crushed stone, sand, and slag. Customers can expect to find a range of materials in their batches. The pieces range from dust to 75mm. 

6F5 Recycled Aggregates are ideal for bulk-fill projects because they are affordable and strong.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Our screened concrete range comes from quarries in and around St Albans. Once our drivers have the materials they grind them down to 40mm chunks. We take all the fine pieces of dust and small chunks of concrete out of the batch.

Screened crushed concrete only contains large chunks of concrete. Lots of contractors use concrete floor screening to support heavy structures. They are perfect for pavements.

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

Likewise, this screened crushed concrete is perfect for flooring projects. It is made from concrete and brick rubble. Our team load the materials into a concrete crusher to create the finished product. 

Before the materials are batched up, we put them through another process called screening. This process splits the fine pieces and the chunks of concrete. We take out all the fine pieces and leave the 75mm chunks.

The 75mm chunks of hardcore concrete create strong sub bases for pavements.

Will crushed concrete compact?

Most of our customers buy crushed concrete for sub bases. The same is true of our MOT products which contain crushed limestone and granite. 

Sub bases are the first stage in a lot of construction projects. Builders lay and roll the concrete, wait for it to set, and build formations on top. The sub base ensures that formations such as driveways have a strong foundation. 

Rolling concrete forces it to compact. The weight of the building formation also forces the materials to compact. This can be a problem for contractors as they have to add new layers every year to meet building requirements. 

Does crushed concrete drain?

We sell lots of different batches of crushed concrete. Contractors in St Albans rely on us for Recycled MOT Type 1, 6F2 Recycled Aggregates, and screened concrete. None of these products has a high flow rate. The flow rate of a product tells us how quickly liquids can pass through it. The higher the flow rate, the quicker the liquids can pass through.

We recommend MOT Type 2 to contractors who need to create drainage systems. This product contains large chunks of limestone and granite. There are no fine pieces of materials, which means that it has a high flow rate. 

For more information, call our team on 01992 635454. 

Will crushed concrete harden?

Yes, crushed concrete will harden with time. 

When hardcore materials go into sub bases, there is a high likelihood that they will harden. Builders place all sorts of formations on top of sub bases. The weight of motorways, car parks, and pavements forces the materials underneath to harden and compact. 

We recommend ready mix concrete to contractors who need harder, smoother materials.

Is crushed concrete toxic?

Any hardcore material can be toxic if it is handled incorrectly. 

Crushed concrete can be dangerous when dust particles are released into the air. When our drivers break pieces of concrete away from quarries, small particles become airborne. If people inhale the dust particles they might experience long term lung issues. 

Contractors, builders, and homeowners should always wear masks when they are around crushed materials. This is a preventative measure that can minimise the chance of long term problems.
