What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

If you are searching for lots of different types of crushed materials, look no further. We specialise in a range of crushed materials including limestone, granite, concrete, and aggregates.

Limestone and granite are very strong primary building materials. We source them directly from quarries, which means that they are brand new. These materials go into a range of products that are called MOT. MOT products are known for their excellent load-bearing qualities.

MOT Type 1 near me

So, what is MOT Type 1?

It is one of the most popular types of MOT. It contains pieces of limestone and granite that come from quarries around Winchmore Hill. We grind the pieces together to create 40mm chunks. 

MOT stands for Ministry of Transport, which is an old transport regulator. Even though this regulator is no longer active, it offers its name to crushed products that are suitable for transport bases. 

Contractors use this product in driveway and car park sub bases. The combination of big and small materials compact together to create strong bases.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

True to its name, Recycled Type 1 MOT contains recycled materials. We collect brick, limestone, granite, and concrete from active demolition sites. 

The pieces in our batches of Recycled MOT Type 1 range from debris to 40mm. 

All these materials work together to create strong bases. Lots of our customers use this product to create bases for buildings and transport networks. Because the product is comprised of recycled materials, it is more affordable than regular MOT. 

MOT Type 2 Clean

Unlike Type 1, MOT Type 2 undergoes a process called screening. We collect limestone and granite from quarries and grind them together. Then, we put the materials in a large net. The small materials fall through, and we are left with only 40mm pieces.

Our customers use MOT Type 2 for drainage systems. These kinds of systems need materials that have high flow rates. The higher the flow rate, the faster the liquids can pass through the batch. Type 2 has a very high flow rate.

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

Recycled 6F2 is a good option for contractors who need affordable materials. All the materials in this batch come from demolition sites around Winchmore Hill. They range from dust to 75mm. 

If you are searching for a product for bulk-fill tasks, 6F2 Recycled Aggregates are perfect for you.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Like all screened products, Type 1 Crushed Concrete only contains one size. This product only contains 40mm pieces.

We recommend screened crushed concrete for flooring tasks. Once 40mm pieces of concrete are rolled and set, they can hold all kinds of floors. Contractors buy this product for patios and pavements.

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

This screened product only contains one size. 75mm pieces of crushed concrete are perfect for larger flooring projects. 

All the concrete in this product comes from quarries.

What are sub bases?

Sub bases are simple structures that support heavy formations. 

There are two common types of sub bases: building bases and transport bases. 

To create these bases, contractors buy high-quality crushed materials. MOT Type 1 is a good candidate for this sort of task because it contains primary building materials. Labourers roll the materials and wait for them to set. The result is a compact layer of crushed limestone and granite. 

MOT Type 1 sub bases can hold all kinds of formations. Buildings, patios, and driveways all have sub bases underneath.

Crushed concrete prices

Lots of contractors ask us, how much is a truckload of crushed concrete?

We do not sell materials by the truckload. Instead, we only sell materials by the ton. This applies to all our MOT, concrete, and aggregate products. 

A ton of concrete can cost anything from £18. Our customers can choose from lots of different products, which means that the price per ton varies. 

For specific information about our prices, call 01992 635454. One of our representatives will calculate the cost of your order.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Contractors can use crushed materials for many construction tasks. 

Sub bases need high-quality crushed materials. Contractors buy batches that contain a combination of debris and big chunks for bases. The sizes slot together and create strong structures. MOT Type 1 is a popular choice for contractors in Winchmore Hill. It contains limestone and granite, two primary building materials that have excellent load-bearing qualities. 

Drainage systems are construction site staples. When contractors have to create drainage systems, they buy products that have high flow rates. MOT Type 2 is a good option for this kind of project because it only contains one size. Liquids can travel through the batch without obstruction. 

Bulk-fill tasks are another construction site staple. For this kind of task, contractors buy affordable hardcore materials. 6F2 Recycled Aggregates are a good example of this. 

Is MOT Type 1 finer than MOT Type 2?

Some of our customers need products that contain fine materials. 

We sell batches that contain 20mm pieces of hardcore materials. We also sell MOT Type 1, which contains materials that range from debris to 40mm. 

If you are looking for fine batches, you should avoid screened products. Screened products go through a net which separates the big and small materials. We throw away the small pieces and leave the big pieces for the finished product.

Does crushed concrete drain?

Like any crushed material, crushed concrete does drain. Different types drain at different rates. The quicker liquids can drain through a batch, the higher the flow rate. 

Screened products have the highest flow rate of all. MOT Type 2 contains limestone and granite, but it has a high flow rate because it is screened. It only contains 40mm pieces, which means that liquids can pass through unobstructed. 

Do you sell crushed concrete for drainage systems?

Any screened product is ideal for drainage systems. 

Lots of contractors buy our Screened Type 1 Crushed Concrete for flooring tasks, but it is also suitable for drainage systems. We sell 40mm and 75mm screened batches, which are both perfect for drainage systems. 

Contractors can also buy MOT Type 2 for drainage systems. This type of MOT contains 40mm pieces of limestone and granite. It has a very high flow rate. 

Will crushed concrete harden?

Crushed concrete does harden under pressure, but it will never be as strong as ready mix concrete. 

This is true of all the hardcore materials that we sell. Limestone, granite, and aggregates all compact and harden under pressure. 

Is crushed concrete dangerous?

Crushed concrete has a few toxic qualities. It is important to consider safety concerns from every angle, especially when working with hardcore materials. 

Concrete contains a lot of chemicals that are potentially harmful. Liquids pass through concrete and absorb the chemicals. Ordinary liquids turn into leachates and transfer chemicals to other areas on construction sites. The fix is simple: put pH controls in place and you will not have to worry about leachates. 

Another thing to be concerned about is airborne particles of crushed concrete. They can become airborne at any time, and they can cause serious lung issues. This is another simple fix! Just ask labourers on your site to wear PPE.
