What types of crushed concrete do you stock?
We sell all kinds of MOT and crushed concrete. Customers can rely on us for a range of big and small materials. Our materials are suitable for drainage systems, sub bases, and floors.
Ground concrete is an ideal alternative to primary construction materials such as limestone. Limestone is far more expensive and has excellent load-bearing qualities. Crushed concrete can also support a large number of heavy formations.
Some of the materials that we stock have MOT in the title. MOT stands for Ministry of Transport. Materials that have MOT in the title meet the standards set out by the Ministry of Transport for sub bases.
MOT Type 1 near me
When contractors search for ‘MOT Type 1 near me’ our name pops up.
So, what is MOT Type 1?
Type 1 limestone and granite come from quarries. We crush the materials together to create 40mm pieces. Customers can expect to find pieces that range from 40mm to dust in their batch of Type 1.
We recommend this type of MOT for sub bases. The combination of big and small hardcore materials combine to create strong bases. The bigger pieces create a robust foundation and the smaller pieces fill the crevices. MOT Type 1 sub bases can carry heavy loads. They are good for car parks, motorways, and driveways.
Recycled Type 1 MOT
Unlike regular Type 1, Recycled Type 1 is sourced from demolition sites. We take crushed concrete from existing sites. There are no unnecessary emissions released during the manufacturing process. This is the most environmentally-friendly type of MOT that we sell.
Recycled Type 1 sub bases contain crushed concrete. Customers can also expect to find other materials in their batches. Brick, stone, and wood might also be scooped up during the sourcing process. Once we have the materials, we grind the pieces down to 40mm chunks. The pieces range from 40mm to dust.
MOT Type 2 Clean
What does MOT Type 2 stand for?
MOT stands for Ministry of Transport.
MOT type 2 batches contain limestone or granite. Once we have the materials, we filter out the dust. Some contractors refer to Type 2 as Clean MOT. After the filtering process, 40mm pieces remain.
Lots of contractors create MOT Type 2 sub bases. The batches do not contain particles, which makes them perfect for drainage systems. There are no particles to clog the system.
6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm
6F2 Recycled Aggregates contain hardcore materials such as concrete, stone, and brick. Like Recycled Type 1, Recycled 6F2 is sourced from demolition sites. Lots of hardcore materials are scooped up during the manufacturing process. The pieces range from 75mm to dust.
Contractors sometimes refer to these batches as 6F5 Recycled Aggregates.
We recommend these batches for bulk fill projects. They are affordable, strong, and long-lasting.
Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm
Concrete floor screening is an affordable alternative to primary construction materials. We source the crushed concrete in these batches from quarries. Once we have the materials, we grind the pieces down to 40mm.
Screening concrete floors is a good idea for contractors who want to lay heavy structures. Screening is excellent for floors such as walkways, pavements, and patios.
Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm
This concrete floor screening also comes from quarries. Customers can expect minimal dust particles in their batches of 75mm screening.
75mm pieces of screening are great for base layers and flooring. Contractors can build on top of concrete floor screening.

What can I use crushed concrete for?
Crushed concrete and MOT have lots of applications. Both these types of materials are good for sub bases, drainage systems, and bulk fill projects.
MOT Type 1 batches are perfect for sub bases. These batches contain a mixture of big and small pieces of hardcore limestone and granite. Once the batch has been properly installed and pressed, it compacts and has excellent load-bearing qualities.
Recycled Type 1 is also good for sub bases. The materials are sourced from existing sites, which makes the batches eco-friendly.
MOT Type 2 sub bases can also handle heavy loads. We recommend Type 2 for drainage systems because it does not contain particles.
Recycled 6F2 is perfect for bulk-fill projects. Each batch contains a combination of hardcore materials that are sourced from demolition projects. 6F2 Recycled Aggregates are a cheaper alternative to primary construction materials.
Will crushed concrete compact?
The simple answer is yes.
As part of the installation process, crushed concrete and MOT are laid down and rolled. Most of the time, these materials are used as sub bases. Heavy structures are placed on top of sub bases.
Over time, the materials will compact under the weight of the heavy structures. It is difficult to predict how much the materials will compact. In some cases, contractors will have to add new layers of concrete to maintain the same specifications.
Is crushed concrete a good sub base?
Yes – crushed concrete is an excellent base for building work.
Concrete is a hardcore material that has excellent load-bearing qualities. It is long-lasting and strong. Recycled MOT Type 1 batches contain pieces of concrete that range from 40mm to dust. The large pieces form the basis for a robust structure and the small pieces fill in the cracks. The resulting base can handle very heavy formations.
Does crushed concrete drain?
In the construction industry, it is important to know the flow rate of materials. This is an important consideration for contractors who need to complete a range of construction tasks.
Some materials have better flow rates than others. Recycled MOT Type 1 will not drain as well as MOT Type 2. Type 2 MOT does not contain particles, which means that nothing fills the crevices in the structure. These batches drain much easier than Type 1 batches.
Will crushed concrete harden?
Crushed concrete and MOT both harden over time. These materials are used as sub bases and placed under heavy structures. The force of the materials forces the sub base to compact and harden over weeks, months, and years.
Contractors should note that crushed aggregates and concrete will not spread as smooth as ready mix concrete.
Is crushed concrete toxic?
Customers always ask us, is crushed concrete toxic?
When it comes to construction projects, it is always important to consider health and safety implications. Hardcore construction materials are often heavy. Flying pieces of shrapnel are always a concern for contractors.
Recycled MOT Type 1 contains pieces of crushed concrete. The materials are sourced from demolition sites. Once we have the materials, we grind them together. Dust particles are released during the manufacturing process. Dust can cause long-lasting health issues. Our staff wear PPE to protect themselves.
Contractors should wear protective gear whilst they work with crushed concrete.
