We sell materials by the ton. Our crushed concrete prices start from £18 per ton. Contractors call us for crushed materials that range from 20mm to 70mm. Some of our batches contain dust particles and other batches have the dust filtered out.

What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

We sell lots of different types of crushed concrete. Recycled Type 1 MOT and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates contain chunks of concrete that have been ground down to 40mm and 75mm pieces. We source these products from demolition sites. The materials would otherwise be thrown away. 

We also stock batches of MOT Type 1 and MOT Type 2 that contain crushed primary materials. Limestone and granite are primary construction materials that form excellent sub bases. We source the materials from quarries. 

All the materials that we stock have brilliant load-bearing qualities.

MOT Type 1 Near Me

One of the most common questions that customers ask us is, what is MOT Type 1?

MOT Type 1 batches come with granite and limestone. We use large-scale industrial machines to collect granite and limestone from quarries. We grind the pieces together to create 40mm chunks and we do not filter the dust out of the mixture.

MOT stands for Ministry of Transport. Lots of batches of crushed materials have MOT in the product name. In this case, the materials are approved for use in sub bases. 

Recycled Type 1 MOT

Recycled MOT Type 1 is made from crushed concrete. We take the concrete from demolition sites. The machines also collect pieces of other construction materials that are in the area. Our customers can expect to find pieces of wood, brick, and other materials in their batches of Recycled Type 1. 

We grind the pieces down to 40mm chunks. We do not filter the dust out. 

Lots of contractors in Hatfield contact us when they want to create Recycled Type 1 sub bases. Once these materials have been laid and rolled, they can handle heavy loads like car parks and highways.

MOT Type 2 Clean

What is MOT Type 2?

Like MOT Type 1, MOT Type 2 contains limestone and granite. We source the materials from quarries and filter out the dust particles. Each batch of MOT Type 2 contains pieces of 40mm limestone and granite.

Lots of contractors use this type of MOT for drainage systems. Batches of crushed materials that contain dust are not suitable for drainage projects. The pieces of dust would clog the system.

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

6F2 Recycled Aggregates are a staple in construction projects all over Hatfield. This product is sometimes called 6F2 Recycled Aggregates.

We source the materials from existing sites. Each batch contains crushed aggregates such as concrete, brick, and stone. 

Recycled 6F2 is good for sub bases. The pieces range from 75mm to dust. This combination creates strong sub bases that can hold up heavy structures like highways.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Screened Type 1 concrete comes from quarries. We use industrial machines to source the materials and grind the pieces down to 40mm chunks. 

Screened crushed concrete does not contain dust. It is designed for contractors who want to create strong floors. Once the screening is in place, contractors can build heavy structures like buildings. 

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

This type of screening is also sourced from quarries. We source the materials and grind them together to form 75mm pieces.

75mm pieces of screened crushed concrete are excellent for large flooring tasks. We filter the dust out of the mixture. The large chunks form an excellent basis for heavy construction formations.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Contractors use crushed concrete and crushed aggregates for lots of different construction tasks. We sell 20mm, 40mm, and 75mm pieces of hardcore materials.

• 20mm pieces of hardcore materials can make other batches more robust. Contractors purchase batches of our 20mm concrete to add to other materials.
• MOT Type 1 is designed for use in sub bases. It contains a combination of big chunks of granite and limestone as well as dust particles. 
• Recycled MOT Type 1 is one of the most eco-friendly types of crushed concrete that we sell. It is perfect for conscientious contractors who need to build sub bases that have excellent load-bearing qualities. 
• MOT Type 2 contains limestone and granite. It is sometimes called Clean MOT. It does not contain dust particles, which makes it perfect for drainage systems.
• 6F5 Recycled Aggregates are perfect for contractors who want materials that have excellent load-bearing qualities without the price tag. Batches of 6F2 Recycled Aggregates are often used in bulk-fill projects. 

Will crushed concrete compact?

There are lots of different answers to this question. 

If contractors use crushed concrete in loose-fill projects the chunks will not compact. If contractors use batches of crushed materials in sub bases they will compact. The first step in this process is rolling the materials. 

Once the materials are rolled and set contractors can build construction formations. Sub bases are often used for car parks, highways, and even buildings. The rolling process and the weight of the heavy formations force the materials to compact.  

Crushed concrete sub bases lose height over time. We recommend adding new layers of concrete every year to meet the same requirements. 

Can I use crushed concrete as a sub base?

Most contractors buy crushed concrete for sub bases. Concrete is a durable and robust hardcore material. 

We create Recycled MOT Type 1 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates. Both these materials contain concrete that is sourced from demolition sites. Batches of these materials contain a combination of big chunks and small particles. This combination creates a robust basis for heavy construction formations.

Does crushed concrete drain?

Batches of construction materials have flow rates. The flow rate tells us how quickly liquids can pass through the batch. Some construction tasks require high flow rates. Materials that are used in drainage systems require high flow rates. 

MOT Type 2 is the best product for drainage systems. It is comprised of chunks of limestone and granite. We filter the fine particles of dust out, which means that liquids can pass through the mixture without a problem.

Will crushed concrete harden?

Crushed concrete and other crushed aggregates are hardcore materials, but they still harden over time. These materials are often used in sub bases. Sub bases are necessary for heavy formations such as buildings, highways, and car parks. 

The weight of the formations forces the sub bases to compact and harden.

It is important to remember that concrete pieces will not be as hard or smooth as ready mix concrete.

Is crushed concrete toxic?

This is one of the most common questions that contractors in Hatfield ask us. 

We source crushed concrete from demolition sites. We use industrial machines to collect the materials. Once we have the pieces of concrete, we grind them together to form different sized chunks. This process causes dust to release into the air. Concrete dust can be harmful to health. Our staff wear PPE to protect themselves from harmful dust particles.

We encourage our customers to wear PPE whilst laying crushed concrete.
