What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

We sell lots of different types of crushed materials.

  • Concrete
  • Limestone
  • Granite
  • Aggregates

Some of our batches contain a combination of sizes, and others only contain one size. We also sell a few screened products, which are made for drainage projects. 

The batches that contain big and small pieces are usually bought for sub bases. The big pieces create a solid base and the small bits slot into the crevices. Overall, these kinds of bases are robust and long-lasting.

MOT Type 1 near me

One of the most common questions that customers ask us is ‘what is MOT Type 1?’

It contains chunks of limestone and granite. We source the materials from quarries and put them in a crushing machine. Each batch contains materials that are as small as debris and as big as 40mm. 

We sell this product to contractors who want to create strong sub bases. In fact, Type 1 is approved for use in transport bases. It is named after the Ministry of Transport, an organisation that once oversaw transport networks in England. Now, it lends its name to materials that are good for driveway and car park bases.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

Recycled MOT Type 1 is a popular choice for contractors who need affordable materials. 

We go to demolition sites around Brentwood to collect recycled materials. This batch may contain concrete, limestone, granite, and brick. We crush the materials down to 40mm, but the batch also contains smaller materials.  

Recycled Type 1 sub bases are strong and affordable.

MOT Type 2 Clean

MOT Type 2 is ideal for drainage systems. 

We collect limestone and granite from quarries around Brentwood. We use a crushing machine to create 40mm chunks. Then, we put the materials through a large industrial-sized net. The small materials slip through the net, and only the big pieces remain. 

40mm pieces of limestone and granite have a high flow rate. There are no small bits of materials to obstruct liquids.

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

We make 6F2 Recycled Aggregates for bulk-fill projects. 75mm pieces of sand, slag, and stone make up the bulk of this product. We collect the pieces from demolition sites around Brentwood, so some other materials could make it into the finished batch.

6F5 Recycled Aggregates are much more affordable than primary building materials.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Screened concrete is a popular choice for contractors who need to create floor bases and drainage systems. 

Screening is an extra manufacturing process that involves a big net. Once we have collected concrete from quarries, we put them in a crushing machine. Afterwards, we put the mixture of big and small pieces in a net, which forces them to separate. 

This product only contains 40mm pieces. It is strong enough to hold all sorts of floors.

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

75mm crushed concrete is like our 40mm concrete product in every way. The only difference is the size of the pieces.

Contractors buy screened concrete for flooring projects.

How do I create a sub base?

Bases should be left to the professionals. Labourers create thousands of bases every year. Almost every formation needs a base. Sub bases bear massive weights and make sure that weight is evenly displaced. 

The process for creating a base is simple. Contractors can choose from a wide range of crushed materials. Crushed concrete and MOT Type 1 are popular choices. 

Labourers have to compact the materials into a thin base. To do this, they roll the materials. Once the base has been set, labourers can start building formations. 

What types of sub bases are there?

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

For transport bases, we always recommend MOT products. We sell MOT Type 1, Type 2, and a recycled version. MOT Type 1 is the most popular option for people who want to create transport bases. It contains primary building materials, which are very strong. 

For other kinds of bases, contractors can choose whichever material best suits their budget. Crushed concrete is a popular choice, but so is MOT. 

Crushed concrete prices

Contractors in Brentwood call us for transparent crushed concrete prices. When contractors choose us, they never have to spend more than necessary. We sell materials by the ton which means that our customers do not have to buy materials by the truckload.

One ton of concrete starts from £18. 

We sell a few different types of crushed concrete and lots of other crushed materials. Our customers also bulk order limestone, granite, and aggregates. 

The price of each product varies. Some of our products contain a few sizes and others are screened. Some come from demolition sites and others come straight from quarries.  

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Here are some of the common ways that our customers use crushed materials.

We sell crushed limestone and granite in MOT products. MOT refers to the Ministry of Transport. Contractors buy MOT batches for transport sub bases. Limestone and granite are primary, strong building materials. They have brilliant load-bearing characteristics and can hold all sorts of heavy structures. 

Lots of our customers buy screened batches for drainage systems. Drainage systems need to let liquids pass through. MOT Type 2, 40mm screened crushed concrete, and 75mm screened crushed concrete all have high flow rates. The higher the flow rate, the faster liquids can pass through the batch. 

Bulk-fill tasks are construction site staples. Contractors often have bulk-fill tasks to fulfil, but they might not want to shell out for primary building materials. 6F2 Recycled Aggregates are the go-to choice for this kind of task. We source the materials from demolition sites, which means that they are very affordable. 

Will crushed concrete compact?

It depends on how you use it.

Most of our customers buy crushed concrete for sub bases. In this case, they have to roll the materials into a thin base. This essential process forces the concrete to compact. 

Some of our customers buy crushed concrete for drainage systems. The materials have to be loose-fill to allow for liquids to drain through. Concrete is a hardcore material, so if contractors use it in loose-fill projects it will probably not compact.

Does crushed concrete drain?

We sell crushed concrete batches that contain a range of sizes. Our Recycled MOT Type 1 product contains concrete, limestone, granite, and brick. The materials in this batch range from dust to 40mm. This product has a low flow rate. Liquids can pass through the batch, but they will be obstructed by the smaller pieces of materials. 

If contractors need materials that have high flow rates, we direct them toward screened materials. MOT Type 2 is a popular screened material. Liquids can pass through this batch fast, which means that it has a high flow rate. Screened products drain quicker than any other product.

Is crushed concrete dangerous?

This is one of the most common questions that customers ask us. Contractors need to be aware of lots of construction materials, and concrete is no exception. 

Concrete particles can become airborne at any moment. When they do, labourers are at significant risk of inhaling them. Concrete can cause long-term lung issues. We recommend providing labourers with masks and other protective equipment. 

The more concrete is on your site, the higher the risk of developing leachates. Leachates form when liquids pass through materials and absorb dangerous chemicals. Concrete has a high level of alkali, which can be dangerous. To stop leachates from forming, we recommend putting pH controls in place.

Can I talk to someone about safety advice before the delivery? 

Yes! Customers can call us before their delivery for advice. 

We have been delivering crushed materials to contractors in Brentwood for years. Our drivers have gone to every kind of construction site. We even deliver to homes, where the sites are smaller and more complicated. 

We can give you realistic, up-to-date safety advice. No matter what kind of site or project you are working on, we can help.

For expert advice, call us on 01992 635454.
