MOT Type 1 near me

‘What is MOT Type 1’ is one of the most common questions that customers ask us. 

This popular product is linked to the Ministry of Transport, an old regulatory body in the UK. Years ago, it created rules and regulations for transport networks. Now, it lends its name to crushed materials that make good transport sub bases. 

Our drivers collect limestone and granite straight from quarries around Essex. They crush the materials to create 40mm pieces. The finished batch is perfect for bases. The big and small chunks combine to create sturdy bases that can hold driveways and motorways. 

Recycled Type 1 MOT

This recycled product is more affordable than MOT products that come from quarries. 

Our team collects Recycled Type 1 MOT materials from demolition sites. This product contains concrete, limestone, brick, and concrete. We put the materials in a crushing machine. The finished product comes with materials that range from bits of debris to 40mm. 

Recycled MOT Type 1 is ideal for sub bases. It is installed in the same way as MOT that comes from quarries. Lots of contractors use this material to support driveways.

MOT Type 2 Clean

Most of our customers buy MOT Type 2 for drainage systems. 

This product contains limestone and granite. We source the materials from quarries around Essex. We put them in a crushing machine and then a net. The net is an important part of a process called screening. Screened materials only contain one size. The smaller pieces fall through the net, and only the big pieces remain. 

To create effective drainage systems, contractors need materials that have high flow rates. MOT Type 2 has a high flow rate because liquids can pass through without being obstructed.

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

Recycled 6F2 is popular amongst contractors who want affordable materials. 

This product contains slag, sand, and stone that we source from demolition sites. We put the materials in a crushing machine to create 75mm pieces. The materials in the batch range from dust to 75mm. 

Contractors in Essex buy our 6F5 Recycled Aggregates for bulk-fill jobs. The materials are recycled, meaning they are more affordable than materials that we collect from quarries. 

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Screened products are very different from our regular products. Regular products contain a combination of sizes, whereas screened products only contain one size. 

To screen materials, we use a large industrial-sized net. This product contains concrete that we collect from quarries around Essex. The materials go into a crushing machine and then a big net. The finished product only has 40mm pieces!

Most of our customers buy this product for concrete floor screening. 

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

This product goes through all the same processes as our 40mm screened crushed concrete. The only difference is that the pieces are 75mm. 

Contractors might choose bigger pieces of concrete for more expansive flooring projects. If they have wider holes to fill, this product might be more affordable. 

Concrete floor screening can hold patios and paths.

Are sub bases necessary?

Sub bases are an essential part of construction sites all over Essex. Our customers create building and transport bases.

Bases have a few distinct characteristics. They are comprised of crushed materials that are rolled thin. Even thin bases can support all kinds of formations. 

MOT Type 1 is a popular product for bases. It is especially popular amongst contractors who want to create transport bases. A thin layer of this product can hold building formations.  

What is MOT?

Lots of new customers are confused by MOT. The acronym refers to the Ministry of Transport. Years ago, this ministry oversaw the creation and maintenance of transport networks in the UK. 

When materials have MOT in the title, they are suitable for use in transport sub bases. These kinds of bases need materials that are sturdy and robust. To install transport bases, labourers have to roll the materials. Finished bases are compact and strong. 

Transport sub bases can be anything from driveways to car parks and even motorways.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Contractors can order all sorts of materials from us. Concrete, limestone, granite, and aggregates are all available for delivery, 

Here are a few examples of the kind of projects that our customers work on. 

  • Most of our customers buy MOT Type 1 hardcore to create sub bases. It is a very versatile material, but it is specifically approved for use as a transport sub base. Type 1 contains big and small pieces of limestone and granite. They are both primary building materials that have excellent load-bearing qualities. Once this kind of base is installed it can hold car parks and even motorways. 
  • Drainage systems are another common construction site task. For this task, contractors usually buy screened materials. Screened batches only contain one size, which means that liquids can pass through unobstructed.
  • Recycled materials are perfect for bulk-fill tasks. They are more affordable than materials that are sourced from quarries. Our 6F2 Recycled Aggregates are ideal for bulk-fill tasks. This batch contains a range of affordable hardcore materials.

Will crushed concrete compact?

Concrete is hardcore a material but it will compact under the right circumstances.

Most of our customers contact us when they need to create sub bases. Concrete is a good candidate for this, and so is MOT Type 1. Any product that has the acronym MOT in the title is suitable for transport bases.

When labourers create bases, they have to roll the materials. They press the materials down until they are compact, dense bases.

Does crushed concrete drain?

The term ‘flow rate’ tells us how well crushed materials drain. The higher the flow rate, the faster liquids can pass through the batch. 

If you are searching for a product with a high flow rate, you should always opt for screened materials. We use a strong industrial net to separate the big pieces and the small pieces. Then, we throw away all the small pieces and only the big pieces remain.

We sell 40mm and 75mm screened crushed concrete as well as MOT Type 2. All these products have high flow rates.  

Is crushed concrete toxic?

If contractors do not handle concrete correctly, they could create dangerous construction sites. 

Crushed concrete can be dangerous in lots of different ways. If particles of concrete become airborne, labourers could inhale them and experience long-term health issues. We cannot predict when particles will become airborne, so labourers should always wear masks. This is the easiest way to avoid future health issues. 

When liquids pass through toxic substances they become leachates, which are liquids that have absorbed chemicals. Liquids can absorb the alkali in concrete. Once a leachate has formed, there is no way to predict where it will transfer the chemicals. To stop dangerous chemicals from mixing, contractors can put pH controls in place.
