What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

We sell a wide range of crushed materials. We sell MOT, which contains limestone and granite. These are primary construction materials that have excellent load-bearing qualities. When products have MOT in the title, the Ministry of Transport has approved them for use as sub bases. 

Contractors in Harpenden can depend on us for high-quality crushed concrete. Recycled MOT Type 1 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates contain concrete. Different materials have different uses.

MOT Type 1 near me

MOT is one of the most popular types of crushed materials. It is used in a range of construction projects across Harpenden. So, what is MOT Type 1?

MOT Type 1 contains limestone and granite. We source the materials from quarries and grind the pieces down to 40mm. The pieces in these batches range from 40mm to dust. 

We recommend this type of MOT for sub bases. The Ministry of Transport has approved this material for use in sub bases. It can handle the weight of heavy formations such as motorways, driveways, and car parks.  

Recycled Type 1 MOT

Recycled Type 1 is made from recycled crushed concrete. We source the materials from demolition sites. The materials would otherwise be thrown away. This is the most eco-friendly type of MOT that we sell. 

We use industrial machines to collect the materials. The machines also scoop up other building materials such as wood, brick, and stone. Recycled MOT Type 1 batches contain a range of construction materials. Once we have the materials, we grind them down to 40mm pieces. Customers can expect materials that range from 40mm to dust. 

Recycled Type 1 sub bases are strong and long-lasting. They can hold heavy structures such as motorways, driveways, and car parks.

MOT Type 2 Clean

This type of MOT is slightly different to MOT Type 1. So, what is MOT Type 2?

MOT Type 2 contains limestone and granite. We source the materials from quarries and grind the pieces down to 40mm. We filter dust particles out during the sorting process. Customers can expect 40mm pieces in each batch. 

This type of MOT is sometimes called Clean MOT. It is often used for drainage systems because it does not contain particles. If it did, the particles would wash away and clog the system.

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

6F2 Recycled Aggregates are made from a combination of crushed aggregates. The primary material is crushed concrete. It is sourced from demolition sites. Due to the sourcing process, other building materials make it into the final batch. 

This is one of the most environmentally-friendly products that we sell. Batches of 6F5 Recycled Aggregates are perfect for bulk fill construction tasks. Contractors who need to fulfil eco-friendly quotas often purchase batches of this crushed aggregate. It is an affordable alternative to primary building materials. 

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Screened concrete is good for contractors who want to create strong floors. 

We source the materials from quarries. Once we have the materials, we grind them together to form 40mm pieces. 

Screening concrete floors is common for contractors who need to build heavy structures. When the concrete screening is in place, contractors can build commercial buildings and other heavy formations.

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

This concrete floor screening is 75mm. Like 40mm pieces, 75mm pieces are sourced from quarries. 

We recommend bigger pieces of concrete floor screening for contractors who need to create large, strong floors. Screening is perfect for flooring because it is made from hardcore, robust materials. Once concrete floor screening is installed, contractors can build heavy materials.

Will crushed concrete compact?

Crushed materials can be used in lots of ways. 

When crushed concrete is properly laid and rolled, it will compact. Once a crushed concrete sub base is installed, contractors can build other formations on top of it. Contractors place motorways, car parks, and other heavy structures on top of sub bases. Over time, the materials in the sub base crowd together and compact. 

This can sometimes be a problem for contractors. Sub bases compact and lose height over time. They might have to add new layers as the years go by.

Can I use crushed concrete as a sub base?

Yes! In fact, crushed concrete is often used as a sub base. We also sell MOT Type 1 and Recycled 6F2 Aggregates. Type 1 is made from granite and limestone.

Concrete, granite, and limestone are robust, hardcore materials. They function as excellent sub bases. The combination of big and small materials creates robust bases that can hold heavy formations.  

Does crushed concrete drain?

Contractors need to know whether their materials drain. Materials that have a high flow rate are perfect for drainage systems. Materials that have low flow rates are ideal for waterlogged areas and foundation formations. 

We sell a lot of batches of materials that contain a combination of big and small materials. These batches do not drain as well as Type 2 MOT, which only contains big chunks of materials.

Contact our team on 01992 635454 for more information. 

Will crushed concrete harden?

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

Contractors often purchase crushed materials for use in sub bases. If the materials are used in sub bases, they are rolled and laid. This forces the materials to harden and compact. The materials will continue to harden over time. 

Is crushed concrete toxic?

We stock crushed concrete, limestone, and granite. We use industrial machines to source materials from quarries and demolition sites. During the sourcing process, dust particles are released into the air. Inhaling a large number of dust particles can have a long-term impact on health. Our staff wear PPE to ensure they stay safe during the sourcing process. 

Once we have the materials, we run them through a laboratory. This ensures that they are safe for use. 

When contractors spread the materials there is a small chance that dust particles will release into the air. We recommend wearing PPE wherever possible.

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

We encourage customers to call us for advice. 

Health and safety is our main concern. Our staff undergo regular training to stay up to date on relevant health and safety procedures. Whether you want to ask about our MOT Type 1 manufacturing process or our Recycled 6F5 Aggregates delivery procedures, we can help. 

Give us a call on 01992 635454.
