MOT Type 1 near me 

MOT Type 1 is a good choice for transport sub bases. Transport sub bases hold up structures such as roads and motorways. 

The term MOT comes from the Ministry of Transport. This ministry regulated transport networks in England for years. It is no longer active, but it lends its name to crushed materials that are suitable for transport bases.

Limestone and granite are primary building materials. We source them from quarries around Epping. We put them in a crushing machine to create 40mm chunks. Each batch of MOT Type 1 hardcore contains materials that range from dust to 40mm.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

True to its name, Recycled MOT Type 1 contains recycled materials. We travel to demolition sites all over Epping to collect the materials. Each batch contains concrete, limestone, granite, and brick that ranges from dust to 40mm. 

Lots of contractors use Recycled Type 1 MOT for sub bases. This product can support all kinds of structures. The big and small pieces slot together to create sturdy bases.

MOT Type 2 Clean

Screened batches like MOT Type 2 are perfect for drainage systems. 

To create this batch, we source limestone and granite from quarries. We place the materials in a crushing machine to create 40mm chunks. Afterwards, the batch goes into a big net. We discard all the small pieces that fall through the net and keep the 40mm pieces. 

Liquids can pass through MOT Type 2 quickly, which means that it has a high flow rate.

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

A single batch of our 6F2 Recycled Aggregates contains lots of materials. We use wide clam buckets to collect materials from demolition sites. They scoop up sand, stone, brick, and more. The materials would otherwise be thrown away,  meaning they are more affordable than primary building materials. 

We recommend 6F5 Recycled Aggregates for bulk-fill tasks. This batch contains pieces that range from dust to 75mm. These affordable materials slot seamlessly together.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

This type of screened crushed concrete is popular amongst contractors in Epping. It comes straight from quarries and is tested at a local facility. 

Each batch contains 40mm pieces of concrete. 

We recommend this product for flooring tasks, sub bases, and drainage systems.

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

For larger projects that need screened materials, we recommend 75mm crushed concrete. 

This hardcore material can bear the weight of all kinds of structures. It can even go into bulk-fill tasks. The batch contains 75mm chunks, which makes it perfect for drainage systems.

Frequently asked crushed concrete questions

What locations do your crushed concrete services cover? 

We cover the following locations and surrounding areas.

Where can I buy crushed concrete near me in Epping?

Contractors can buy our crushed materials over the phone. Our customers do not have to worry about complicated websites. The entire process takes just a few minutes. 

We sell concrete, limestone, granite, and aggregates. We create a range of sizes from 20mm to 75mm. Some of our products contain a mixture of sizes and others contain one size. 

We deliver to homes and construction sites all over Epping. We have even expanded our delivery radius to most of Essex. 

What does the term flow rate mean?

The term flow rate refers to how fast liquids can pass through a material or a collection of materials. 

Contractors have to consider the flow rate of all their materials. Drainage systems need materials that have high flow rates, and most bulk-fill projects need materials that have low flow rates.

Crushed concrete delivery

Once you have confirmed that your entrance is wide enough, you can choose a time slot and a date. Our definite time slots help contractors plan their days and meet deadlines.

Are sub bases necessary?

Sub bases are an essential part of all kinds of construction tasks. Before labourers create buildings, car parks, and motorways, they need to create bases. 

Bases are made from crushed materials. Concrete, limestone, and granite are popular choices. 

Contractors call us when they need to create building bases and transport bases. Building bases hold houses, patios, and sheds. Transport bases hold roads, car parks, and motorways.

How do I create a sub base?

Sub bases are simple. Labourers buy whichever crushed material suit their needs and roll them into thin bases. Rolling the materials forces them to compact and lock into place. 

The overall result is a strong, sturdy base. Some transport bases can be as thin as four inches. They do not have to be thick to have excellent load-bearing qualities.

Crushed concrete prices

Crushed concrete prices vary from product to product. We sell lots of products that contain concrete, so it is important to check the price before you order. 

Our concrete products start from £18 per ton. 

We sell materials by the ton. Our customers never have to order useless materials and waste their money. 

You can order concrete, limestone, and granite in just a few minutes. Give us a call on 01992 635454 to ask about prices and book your time slot.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

There is no end to the number of ways that contractors use our materials. Hardcore materials are very versatile. They can support bases, drainage systems, and bulk-fill tasks. 

For bulk-fill tasks, contractors need strong but affordable materials. We recommend 6F2 Recycled Aggregates. This product is perfect for people who want to keep an eye on costs. All the materials come straight from demolition sites, which means that they would otherwise be recycled. 

For drainage systems, contractors need screened products. Screened products only contain one size. Liquids can pass through without being obstructed by bits of debris. MOT Type 2 and screened crushed concrete both have high flow rates.

For sub bases, contractors need materials that have excellent load-bearing qualities. We recommend MOT Type 1. This product contains primary building materials that can handle the weight of car parks and motorways. 

Will crushed concrete compact and harden?

Yes! 

Crushed concrete will compact and harden under the right circumstances. 

Most of our customers buy concrete for building and transport bases. To create these bases, they have to roll the materials. This part of the process makes the materials compact. As the pieces of concrete flatten and compact, they also harden. 

Crushed materials will never be as hard as ready mix concrete.

Does crushed concrete drain?

Some crushed concrete products drain, whereas others do not. 

Recycled MOT Type 1 contains concrete and a few other materials. The materials range from bits of debris to 40mm. This product has a low flow rate, which means that it does drain but not very well. 

MOT Type 2 only 40mm pieces of concrete. This product has a high flow rate, which means that liquids pass through it very quickly. 

Contractors need products that have high flow rates for drainage systems and other tasks.

What is finer Type 2 MOT or Type 1 MOT?

MOT Type 1 contains finer materials than MOT Type 2.

Type 1 contains a range of sizes. The pieces can be as small as dust or as big as 40mm. 

Type 2 is a screened material, meaning it only contains one size. The pieces are 40mm.

Is crushed concrete harmful?

Concrete can be harmful. When contractors order concrete, they need to think about safety controls. 

Many of our customers put pH controls in place. PH controls are essential for contractors who buy crushed concrete. When liquids pass through concrete they absorb some of the alkalis that are in the material. This creates leachates, which pose a threat to health and safety. 

Airborne concrete particles also pose a threat to health. If you inhale concrete particles, you may experience lung issues in the future. The easiest way to avoid this problem is to wear high-quality masks.
