What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

Crushed concrete is not the only crushed material that we stock. We also stock MOT type 1 and MOT Type 2, which are both made up of limestone and/or granite. Contractors in Cheshunt also depend on us for screened concrete.

Mot is an acronym for ‘Ministry of Transport’. When a material has MOT in the title it means that the Ministry of Transport has approved it for use as a sub base.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

20mm crushed concrete is perfect for materials that need a bit of extra support. The pieces fill in crevices and gaps that would otherwise be empty. 

MOT Type 1 sub bases are very strong. The batch is comprised of big and small pieces that form robust structures. These sub bases have excellent load-bearing features. 

Recycled MOT Type 1 is perfect for contractors who have eco-friendly quotas. The materials would otherwise be thrown away. They can be used to create strong sub bases for car parks and driveways.

6F5 Recycled Aggregates are created for bulk-fill building projects. We source the materials from demolition sites. Batches of Recycled 6F2 are more affordable than primary construction materials. 

Will crushed concrete compact?

The answer to this question depends on how you use crushed concrete. 

Most of our customers in Cheshunt use crushed concrete for sub bases. In this case, the materials will be laid and rolled. The installation process forces the materials to crowd together and compact. Once the base is laid, contractors can start building heavy formations such as car parks, driveways, and motorways. The weight of the formation will force the materials in the sub base to further compact. 

Sometimes, contractors have to return to their construction projects and add new layers of concrete. This ensures that the formation meets the right requirements. 

When crushed materials are used in bulk-fill construction tasks, they will not compact over time.   

Is crushed concrete a good sub base?

Yes – crushed concrete is an excellent sub base! Recycled Type 1 MOT contains concrete. We also sell MOT Type 1, which contains limestone and concrete. This product is also designed for installation as a sub base. 

These products make good sub bases because they contain a combination of big and small hardcore materials. The big chunks form a strong basis and the smaller chunks fill in the gaps. Overall, the structure is very robust.  

Does crushed concrete drain?

In some cases, contractors need to know whether their materials will drain. Some batches of materials have better flow rates than others. Contractors need materials that have high flow rates for drainage systems.  

MOT Type 1 and Recycled Type 1 MOT contain a combination of big and small pieces. They do not drain as well as MOT Type 2, which does not contain dust particles. If contractors were to use regular or Recycled MOT Type 1 for drainage systems, the dust particles would clog the system.

Will crushed concrete harden?

Crushed concrete will harden over time, but not as much as ready mix concrete. 

Crushed materials are often used as sub bases. Contractors build heavy formations such as motorways, car parks, and driveways on top of bases. The weight of the structures forces the materials to harden.

Is crushed concrete toxic?

Crushed concrete can be dangerous if it is not handled correctly. 

We source concrete from demolition sites. The concrete in our batches can come from domestic homes, pavements, walls, and a range of other formations. We use industrial machines to extract chunks of concrete. This process releases dust into the air. Dust from concrete can have a long-term impact on health. Our staff wear appropriate PPE to ensure that they do not inhale dust. 

Once we have the materials, we send them to a local laboratory. This stage of the manufacturing process ensures that the materials are safe for use. 

When our batches of crushed concrete arrive on your site, most of the dust will have been released. Some might be released when you lay the concrete. We always encourage our customers to wear PPE.
