Crushed materials are construction site staples. They form excellent bases and can hold heavy construction formations.

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

20mm concrete – This is the smallest crushed concrete that we produce. They are significantly smaller than our larger crushed materials. Lots of contractors buy these materials to support batches that contain larger pieces of hardcore materials.

MOT Type 1 – This is the most popular MOT product that we stock. The combination of big and small pieces creates strong sub bases. We recommend MOT Type 1 sub bases for large-scale tasks such as motorways.

Recycled MOT Type 1 – This is the most environmentally-friendly type of MOT that we stock. It is affordable and strong. We recommend it for contractors who want to build affordable sub bases. Recycled sub bases can support car parks, driveways, and a number of other construction formations.

MOT Type 2 – This is the only type of MOT that we sell that does not contain dust particles. Contractors can expect 40mm chunks of limestone and granite in Type 2 batches. We recommend Type 2 for drainage systems.

6F2 Recycled Aggregates – These aggregates come from demolition sites. Contractors can expect bits of wood, stone, and brick alongside their crushed concrete. This product is affordable, which makes it perfect for bulk-fill projects.

Lots of contractors buy our materials to create sub bases. For this task, contractors have to place and roll the materials. This will force the materials to move closer together and compact. Once that stage is complete, contractors can build construction formations on top of the sub base. The weight of the formation also forces the materials to compact.

Crushed concrete sub bases can compact so much that they no longer meet building requirements. Lots of contractors have to add extra layers of concrete to their sub bases as years pass to meet the right requirements.

There is a lot of confusion about MOT and crushed concrete.

MOT stands for Ministry of Transport. Products that have 'MOT'in the title have been approved for use in sub bases by an industry authority. MOT products contain either limestone or granite or a combination of both. The materials are sourced straight from quarries.

Crushed concrete is sourced from demolition sites. We use industrial machines to collect the materials. They undergo testing and a further manufacturing process to grind the pieces down to size. Contractors can repurpose materials that would otherwise be thrown away and also create strong sub bases.

Most materials drain to a certain extent. Another term for this is the flow rate. Some batches of materials have higher flow rates than others.

Batches of Recycled 6F2 Aggregates contain a combination of big and small pieces of crushed concrete. The flow rate is not as high as MOT Type 2. We filter the fine dust out, which means that liquid can move freely through the materials.

The simple answer is yes.

Crushed concrete is often used in sub bases. Sub bases must be laid and rolled. This causes the materials to move closer together and harden. The chunks of concrete will continue to harden as contractors build heavy formations on top.

The crushed materials that we sell will never be as hard or smooth as ready mix concrete.

Like a lot of construction materials, concrete can be harmful to health if not handled correctly.

We source concrete from existing sites that are being demolished. Once we have the materials, we grind them together in an industrial machine. When the materials break apart dust is released into the air. Our staff wear protective equipment such as masks to ensure they do not inhale the dust. Inhaling the dust can cause long-term health issues.

We encourage contractors to wear PPE when they are working with crushed concrete.
