Crushed Concrete in Bedfordshire

Contractors call us for clear communication and high-quality crushed materials. 

At HH Muckers, we specialise in crushed materials. We collect concrete, limestone, and granite from quarries and demolition sites. We crush the materials into a range of sizes and batch them into different products.

All our materials undergo testing at a local facility. Whether you order MOT Type 1 or Screened Type 1 Crushed Concrete, you can rest assured that your order will contain tried and tested materials.

To order, all you need to do is call our team on 01992 635454. They can answer any questions that you have and even advise you on common construction materials.

Please note that we only deliver orders that are over eight tons.

What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

If you want to buy all your crushed materials in one place, look no further. 

We focus on the most popular crushed materials. Contractors in Bedfordshire contact us for crushed concrete, granite, limestone, and aggregates. We crush the materials into 20mm, 40mm, and 75mm pieces.

There is something for every budget and construction task. Some of our products contain materials that come from demolition sites. The materials would otherwise be thrown away, which makes them a more affordable option. Materials that come from quarries are more expensive, but they have excellent load-bearing qualities.

MOT Type 1

MOT Type 1 sub bases can hold massive loads. This is the preferred product for transport sub bases. Contractors across Bedfordshire order this product when they need to support roads, driveways, and motorways. 

Limestone and granite have brilliant load-bearing qualities, especially in this batch. We take these primary construction materials from quarries and put them in a crushing machine. The final batch contains everything from specs of dust to 40mm pieces. The different sizes work together to create robust bases.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

Recycled products are more affordable than primary construction materials. We collect Recycled MOT Type 1 materials from demolition sites around Bedfordshire. The finished batch contains pieces of brick, concrete, granite, and limestone that range up to 40mm. 

We recommend this recycled MOT batch for transport sub bases and bulk-fill tasks.

MOT Type 2 Clean

For effective drainage systems, consider Type 2. 

To create MOT Type 2, we collect granite and limestone from quarries around Bedfordshire. Unlike a lot of our products, this product only contains one size. This is because we screen the overall batch and remove anything other than the 40mm pieces. 

If we did not remove the smaller pieces and particles they would clog drainage systems. Water and any other liquids can flow through Type 2 without a problem. 

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

Recycled 6F2 is an affordable, strong batch of recycled aggregates. We collect all sorts of aggregates from demolition sites. You can expect to find stone, brick, and sand in this batch. The pieces range from specs of dust to 75mm chunks. 

We recommend this product for bulk-fill tasks. This kind of task does not necessarily need the most expensive materials, so recycled materials work well. 

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

This is another popular screened product. We use all the same manufacturing processes as we do to create MOT Type 2. The only difference is that this product contains concrete that comes from quarries.

40mm chunks of crushed concrete are very versatile. You can use this product in almost any construction task. It is most popular for concrete floor screening, drainage systems, and sub bases.

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

Both types of crushed concrete screening are very similar. The only difference is the size. 

Screened products are good for floor screening, sub base, and drainage tasks. If our customers have to complete bigger versions of any of these projects, we recommend 75mm chunks. It might be more affordable to buy bigger chunks.

How do I create sub bases?

Sub bases should be left to the experts. They are simple structures, but they need to be installed in the right way. 

To create bases, contractors buy crushed materials. Products that contain a combination of big and small pieces make excellent bases. They lock together to create robust structures.

Once the materials are in place, labourers use heavy rolling machines to flatten them. This stage of the process also forces the materials to compact.

A finished base should be featureless. Once you have a flat base, you can start building formations.

What materials work well for sub bases?

Limestone, granite, and concrete work well in sub bases.

When it comes to bases, it is more about the overall product than the material. Products that contain a combination of materials work well. The big pieces form a strong basis and the smaller pieces fill in the crevices. The result is a sturdy base. 

Contractors in Bedfordshire often buy MOT Type 1 for sub bases. Like any product that has MOT in the title, Type 1 is perfect for transport bases.

What are screened products good for?

In simple terms, screened products contain one size. We throw away all the small bits and only big chunks remain. We sell 40mm and 75mm screened materials. They are good for drainage systems and other loose-fill tasks. 

Does MOT Type 2 have a high flow rate?

When customers ask for a product that has a high flow rate, we point them toward MOT Type 2. 

The term flow rate refers to how fast liquids travel through a product. If a product only contains one size, it has a high flow rate. 

MOT Type 2 contains 40mm pieces of limestone and granite. Liquids can travel through the batch without a problem. 

Crushed concrete prices

If you are searching for prices per ton, you are in the right place. Our customers do not have to spend money on materials that they do not need. You can buy an exact number of tons. 

Our crushed concrete prices start from £18 per ton. Lots of our products contain concrete, and they all start at different price points. Some materials are more expensive than others, like primary building materials. On the other end of the scale, aggregates are an affordable option. 

Got questions? No problem. Call us on 01992 635454 to ask about the price of our materials.

What can I use crushed concrete and other materials for?

Crushed concrete goes into all kinds of construction projects. The same is true of limestone, granite, and aggregates.

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

  • Concrete is a sturdy hardcore material. Contractors in Bedfordshire love our crushed concrete products because there is something for everyone. We sell affordable batches that come from demolition sites and more expensive batches that come from quarries. This material can go into any construction task, it just depends on which product you choose! 
  • Limestone and granite pair together to create strong sub bases. Most of our batches contain limestone and granite that come from quarries. These primary building materials have excellent load-bearing qualities, which makes them great for transport bases that support roads and motorways. 
  • Aggregates are the most affordable option. Our Recycled 6F2 batch contains recycled aggregates that come from demolition sites. Affordable materials have lots of benefits, and they are perfect for bulk-fill tasks. 

Does crushed concrete drain?

The simple answer is yes, but it is important to remember that different batches have different flow rates. 

6F2 Recycled Aggregates is one of our most popular recycled batches. To create this product, we collect pieces of concrete, limestone, granite, and brick from demolition sites around Bedfordshire. As well as there being a few materials, there are a few sizes. Liquids can drain through the product, but they will carry bits of materials with them. 

Screened materials only contain one size. Liquids can pass through screened crushed concrete without a problem. This product drains much quicker than products that contain more than one size.

Is crushed concrete dangerous?

Construction materials can be dangerous.

Before the materials arrive on your site, here are some of the things that you need to consider.

  • Handling – No matter how light the materials are, you need to handle them correctly. Concrete, granite, and limestone are all heavy materials that can cause injuries. To eliminate this problem, ask our drivers to drop your materials off exactly where you need them. 
  • Dust particles – Dust particles become airborne when you move the materials from A to B. If someone inhales concrete particles, they could develop lung issues. The particles build up in lungs and block passageways. To fix this problem, think about enforcing a mask rule.
  • Leachates – This is one of the lesser-known dangers of concrete. Leachates form when liquids absorb chemicals from hardcore materials. Liquids absorb high levels of alkalis from concrete. The resulting leachate can spread alkalis to other areas on your construction site. You can avoid this problem by putting pH controls in place.

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