What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

We sell the two most popular types of crushed concrete. Most of our batches of concrete only contain one size. This is because they have undergone a process called screening which removes all the small pieces. Some of our other concrete batches contain materials that range from dust to 40mm. 

MOT is another popular construction material. We sell a wide range of MOT products that are suitable for bases and drainage systems.

MOT Type 1 near me

So, what is MOT Type 1?

This product is approved for use by the Ministry of Transport. Even though this ministry is no longer active, it still lends its name to batches of crushed materials. Materials that are named after this ministry are suitable for use in transport bases.

MOT Type 1 batches contain pieces of limestone and granite that range from dust to 40mm. We take the limestone and granite chunks straight from quarries. 

Contractors buy this product when they need to create driveway and car park bases.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

Recycled MOT Type 1 is a more affordable alternative. 

To make this product, we collect materials from demolition sites around Chigwell. This batch can contain brick, limestone, granite, and concrete. If we did not collect the materials they would go to landfill sites. 

Recycled MOT Type 1 contains materials that are as small as debris and as big as 40mm. We recommend this product for people who want to create affordable sub bases.

MOT Type 2 Clean

If you are searching for a screened product that contains primary building materials, MOT Type 2 is perfect for you. 

To create this product, we source granite and limestone from quarries around Chigwell. Then, we put them in a crushing machine to create 40mm chunks. For the final stage of the process, we put the chunks in a net. The small pieces fall through, and only the 40mm pieces remain.

Lots of people buy MOT Type 2 for drainage systems. It has a much higher flow rate than materials that have not been screened. 

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

6F5 Recycled Aggregates are popular amongst contractors in Chigwell. This batch is the best of both worlds; it contains hardcore materials that are recycled. To create this product, we source sand, stone, and brick from demolition sites.

The materials range from dust to 75mm. We recommend this product for bulk-fill projects.  

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Screened materials go through an extra manufacturing process. Once we have collected the concrete from quarries, we crush the pieces. Then, we put the batch in an industrial-sized net to split the sizes. 

Once we are finished with this product, only 40mm chunks remain. 40mm pieces of crushed concrete are popular amongst contractors who need to create floor bases. They are also suitable for drainage systems. 

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

Crushed concrete is a versatile hardcore material. This kind of concrete product is made for flooring projects. 

Like our 40mm concrete, our 75mm concrete product comes from quarries around Chigwell. We crush and screen the pieces so that only 75mm pieces remain in the finished product.

What is a transport sub base?

Our materials go into two kinds of sub bases: transport bases and building bases.

Bases hold heavy structures and make sure that the weight is evenly displaced. Contractors often choose crushed concrete or MOT for bases. They roll the materials to compact them in place. 

Transport structures can be anything from a car park to a road. Some of our customers even construct motorways.

What product should I use for transport sub bases?

Any product that has MOT in the title is suitable for transport bases. 

MOT Type 1 is a popular choice for people who want to create transport bases. It contains granite and limestone, which are both primary building materials. Primary materials are known for their strength and longevity.

When labourers create bases, they have to roll their materials. MOT Type 1 hardcore contains materials that range from debris to 40mm. The small chunks lock into the crevices that the bigger chunks leave behind, which creates a solid base. 

What does ‘flow rate’ mean?

The term ‘flow rate’ refers to how quickly liquids can pass through materials. 

All crushed materials have a flow rate. 

Screened materials have a higher flow rate than all other products. This is because screened materials only contain one size. Liquids can pass through screened batches without dislodging anything.

Crushed concrete prices

We are known for our transparent prices. Contractors in Chigwell do not have to worry about big shocks on their final bill. They can simply call 01992 635454 and ask one of our representatives for the price of each material.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Our materials have lots of uses. 

We create crushed concrete, limestone, granite, and aggregates for construction tasks. 

One of the most common construction tasks that our customers buy materials for is sub bases. Bases are essential parts of construction tasks all over Chigwell. To create bases, contractors need strong hardcore materials. MOT Type 1 is a good candidate for this job because it contains primary building materials. 

We deliver batches of 6F5 Recycled Aggregates to contractors who have bulk-fill tasks. These kinds of tasks benefit from strong materials. Contractors do not necessarily need to buy primary building materials, especially if they are just filling a gap.

Our customers also create drainage systems. Crushed materials are suitable for this kind of task, but contractors need to make sure that they buy a screened version. Screened materials only contain one size, which means that they have high flow rates. Liquids can move through the batch quickly.

Does crushed concrete drain?

All crushed materials have a flow rate, which means that all crushed materials drain. 

The rate that products drain depends on a few factors. The size of the materials can have a big impact on how quick the product drains. We sell a few different kinds of crushed concrete.

Recycled MOT Type 1 contains concrete, brick, and other hardcore materials. The chunks can be as small as dust and as big as 40mm. This product does not drain well. 

Screened crushed concrete drains well, because it only contains one size.

Is crushed concrete harmful?

If you do not put the right controls in place, crushed concrete can be harmful. 

One of the main risks of concrete arises when the particles become airborne. This can happen at any time, but it is more common during the manufacturing process. Even when batches of concrete are on your site, you should be concerned about airborne particles. People who inhale these particles are at risk of developing lung issues. 

Another serious issue is leachates. Leachates can occur very easily. They occur when liquids pass through materials and absorb chemicals. Concrete contains high levels of alkali, which can be dangerous to human health. It can also contaminate other construction materials on your sites.  

Luckily, these two problems have simple fixes. Contractors can put pH controls in place for the alkali. They can also invest in proper masks for anyone who might be on their construction site. 

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

At HH Muckers, we put safety first. 

All our drivers receive regular training. They understand the best safety protocols and they can advise you on them. 

Construction sites can be dangerous at the best of times. Conscientious contractors can make their sites as safe as possible by calling us before their delivery. We are happy to explain the delivery process and point out some of the potential risk areas.
