Crushed Concrete in Barnet

Contractors in Barnet call us for MOT and crushed concrete. We source materials from demolition sites and quarries. Once we have the rock, we grind the pieces together to create smaller chunks. We stock a range of 20mm, 40mm, and 75mm concrete. 

Builders in Barnet switch primary construction materials out for crushed concrete. It is more affordable than materials such as limestone and has excellent load-bearing qualities. Crushed materials can be spread out to form bases for other construction foundations. 

Even better, Recycled MOT Type 1 and Recycled 6F2 are both sustainable. Unlike our other crushed products, these batches are not sourced from quarries. They are by-products of demolition sites. They are repurposed, which eliminates harmful manufacturing fumes. 

If customers pre-book their time slot, we can deliver crushed aggregates 24/7. Our service is designed to support contractors at any hour of the day. Call 01992 635454 to book a time slot. 

What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

There are lots of types of crushed aggregates to choose from. We sell MOT Type 1, MOT Type 2, and a number of other crushed materials. We even sell concrete floor screening. 

MOT is used for sub bases and screening is used for floors. They create strong bases for paving, walkways, driveways, car parks, concrete blocks, and even drainage systems. MOT stands for Ministry of Transport. If products have MOT in the title they are approved for use as sub bases.

MOT Type 1

If you are searching for ‘MOT Type 1 near me’, you will be directed to our website. We sell this type of MOT to contractors all over Barnet. 

What is MOT Type 1?

MOT Type 1 is sourced from quarries. Once we have the limestone and granite, we grind the pieces together until they form 40mm pieces. We do not filter out the particles. Each batch is comprised of pieces that range from 40mm to dust. 

MOT Type 1 hardcore is used for sub bases. Driveways, paving, and car parks need sub bases. Once the batch of hardcore is laid, it is compressed. The large pieces press together and the small particles fill the crevices. The result is a strong sub base that has excellent load-bearing qualities. 

Recycled Type 1 MOT

Recycled MOT Type 1 is self-explanatory. It is made from recycled content. We source this concrete and brick from demolition sites. The materials that we collect would otherwise be thrown away. This type of MOT is sustainable. It is perfect for project managers who want to control their carbon footprint. 

Recycled Type 1 sub bases are just as strong as typical MOT sub bases. Like regular Type 1, it contains pieces of concrete and brick that range from 40mm to small particles. 

Recycled Type 1 batches contain materials other than concrete. The sourcing process allows other materials to slip through the net. Customers can expect limestone, wood, and granite in their batches of Recycled MOT. 

MOT Type 2 Clean

What does Type 2 MOT stand for?

MOT stands for Ministry of Transport. MOT Type 2 is also sometimes called Clean MOT. It is sourced from quarries. During the manufacturing process, small particles are filtered out. 40mm pieces of granite or limestone remain. 

MOT Type 2 sub bases are extremely strong and durable. The lack of particles makes them perfect for drainage systems. If builders were to use Type 1 in drainage systems, the particles would wash away and clog the system. 

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

6F2 Recycled Aggregates come with hardcore materials. The same product is sometimes called 6F5 Recycled Aggregate. It contains hardcore aggregates such as limestone, brick, and concrete. The pieces are sourced from existing sites and are anywhere from 75mm to dust.  

This product is sustainable and environmentally friendly. We recommend Recycled 6F2 for bulk fill projects. It is an affordable alternative to primary construction materials. 

Screened Type 1 Crushed Concrete 40mm

Type 1 screened concrete is sourced from quarries. The concrete is grinded down to 40mm pieces.  

Customers call us for long-lasting concrete floor screening. Screening is perfect for floors because it is durable. The pieces are 40mm, which means that they provide a strong basis for floor formation tasks. Screening can be used for walkways, patios, and paving.

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

This type of concrete floor screening is 75mm. It is sourced from quarries and contains minimal dust particles. 

Like 40mm screening, 75mm screening is used for base layers. Screening base layers have excellent load-bearing qualities. Base layers that are anywhere upwards of six inches can support all sorts of heavy structures. 

With our delivery service, screening concrete floors has never been easier.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Crushed aggregates have lots of applications. Contractors switch primarily materials out for crushed alternatives. These alternatives are cheaper and, in most cases, more environmentally-friendly. 

MOT Type 1 crushed concrete is comprised of big and small pieces of limestone and granite. This combination creates strong structures that have brilliant load-bearing qualities. It is ideal for sub bases. Lots of contractors use it as a sub base for motorways, driveways, and car parks. 

Recycled Type 1 sub bases are just as strong as regular Type 1 sub bases. This type of MOT is sourced from demolition sites. It is cheaper and more sustainable than the regular types. 

MOT Type 2 is also referred to as Clean MOT. It does not contain dust particles. All the particles are filtered out during the manufacturing process. It is perfect for drainage systems. 

6F2 Recycled Aggregates are ideal for bulk-fill projects. Contractors often buy Recycled 6F2 instead of primary materials because it is cheaper.

Will crushed concrete compact?

Crushed concrete and other crushed aggregates compact over time. 

Crushed construction materials are often laid as sub bases. When construction professionals undertake proper installation procedures, the crushed materials will compact. 

In some cases, this can be a problem. It is difficult to predict how much these materials will compact. Builders might have to return to construction projects and add new layers of concrete every few years to achieve the right specifications.

What is finer Type 1 MOT or Type 2 MOT?

What is finer, Type 1 MOT or Type 2 MOT?

MOT is varied. Different types have different compositions. Some types of MOT have big chunks and others have a mixture of big and small chunks. 

MOT Type 1 crushed concrete is comprised of pieces that range from dust to 40mm.  It is an excellent sub base. The smaller pieces fill in the gaps and strengthen the overall base. 

MOT Type 2 sub bases do not contain any dust particles. Type 1 is finer than Type 2.

Does crushed concrete drain?

Drainage is an important consideration for builders and labourers. Some construction tasks need materials that drain at a quicker flow rate than others. 

Concrete itself does not drain. It is a closed-cell, strong material. Different types of MOT are made up of different sized chunks of concrete, which makes the overall batch more likely to drain. 

MOT Type 1 hardcore batches contain chunks of limestone and granite that range from 40mm to dust. Once compacted, the sub base is very robust. The sub base is not entirely permeable or not permeable. MOT Type 2 does not contain particles and is far more likely to drain than Type 1. 

Will crushed concrete harden?

Crushed concrete and other crushed aggregates harden over time. They are used as sub bases. When the materials are properly spread, compacted, and rolled, they harden. The weight on top of the sub base also forces the crushed materials to compact and harden. 

Crushed materials do not achieve the smoothness or hardness of ready mix concrete.

Is crushed concrete toxic?

Customers always ask us whether crushed concrete is a health hazard. 

Some crushed aggregates are sourced from quarries, and others are sourced from demolition sites. Once we have the materials, we grind them together until they are crushed into small pieces. Dust is released into the air. Dust can be harmful to health. Our staff wear PPE and take all the proper health and safety precautions. Regardless, we analyse all the materials we source in our lab. We run tests to ensure that the materials are safe for use. 

Most of the dust particles are released during the manufacturing process. When crushed materials are spread out, the displacement can cause dust to rise. We encourage our customers to wear PPE. 

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

We cater to contractors and homeowners all over Barnet.  

If you have a question about health and safety, give us a call on 01992 635454. Our staff will answer any questions you have about MOT Type 1 hardcore, MOT Type 2 sub bases, or any other crushed concrete products that we sell.
