What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

Recycled MOT Type 1 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates contain crushed concrete. We source both these types of concrete from existing sites. 

MOT Type 1 and MOT Type 2 are made from limestone and granite. These are primary construction materials. They are more expensive than concrete but they meet the high requirements of many construction tasks. 

MOT Type 1 near me

So, what is MOT Type 1?

It is made from granite and limestone. We collect the materials and grind them together to create 40mm pieces. We do not filter the dust out.

MOT Type 1 sub bases are very strong and durable. They can handle strong formations such as motorways, car parks, and driveways. 

This is the most popular type of MOT. MOT stands for Ministry of Transport. If the Ministry of Transport approves a material for use as a sub base, it will have MOT in the title. 

Recycled Type 1 MOT

Recycled Type 1 MOT contains crushed concrete. We use industrial machines to collect the materials from demolition sites. The materials would otherwise be thrown away. This type of MOT is perfect for contractors who need to meet environmentally-friendly quotas. 

Due to the sourcing process, the final batch contains more than just concrete. Our machines also scoop up wood, brick, stone, and any other construction materials that are in the area.

Once we have the materials, we grind the pieces down to 40mm chunks. Recycled MOT Type 1 can create sub bases for motorways, car parks, and a number of other construction tasks. 

MOT Type 2 Clean

So, what is MOT Type 2?

This type of MOT contains limestone and granite. Once we have the materials, we grind them down to 40mm chunks. This type of MOT stands apart from the rest because it does not contain dust. We filter the dust out during the manufacturing process.

Like MOT Type 1, MOT Type 2 is suitable for use in sub bases. It is also perfect for drainage systems. Other crushed batches that contain dust would clog drainage systems. 

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

6F5 Recycled Aggregates are also referred to as 6F2 Recycled Aggregates. Batches of this product contain a combination of materials that come from demolition sites. The main material is concrete. We grind the pieces down to 75mm chunks.

Contractors often buy Recycled 6F5 for bulk-fill projects. It is more affordable than primary construction materials and also has excellent load-bearing qualities.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

We source screened crushed concrete from quarries. Once we have crushed the concrete down to 40mm chunks, we start a secondary process called screening. This process removes the dust particles. 

Concrete floor screening is strong and robust. Contractors need to build robust floors for heavy formations such as car parks and building structures.

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

All the screened crushed concrete that we stock comes from quarries. 

We recommend 75mm pieces of screened concrete for large floors. 75mm pieces of hardcore concrete form a brilliant basis for construction formations.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

There are lots of ways that contractors can use crushed materials. We do not just sell crushed pieces of concrete. We sell a range of crushed materials that have different applications. 

  • 20mm Concrete – 20mm pieces of concrete are the smallest pieces that we sell. Batches of 20mm concrete can support other batches of concrete that contain larger pieces. They are perfect for sub bases that need extra support. 
  • MOT Type 1 – MOT Type 1 sub bases are robust and long-lasting. Batches of Type 1 contain 40mm pieces of limestone and granite which are two strong primary construction materials. 
  • Recycled Type 1 MOT – This type of MOT is also perfect for sub bases. Batches of Recycled MOT contain recycled materials and are far more affordable than batches of MOT that are sourced from quarries.
  • MOT Type 2 Clean – We filter the dust out of Type 2 MOT during the manufacturing process. Batches of Type 2 are perfect for drainage systems.
  • 6F5 Recycled Aggregates – Batches of 6F2 Recycled Aggregates are designed for bulk-fill projects. They are more affordable than materials such as granite and limestone. 

Will crushed concrete compact?

Crushed concrete is often used as a sub base. It will compact if it is properly rolled and laid. Once the materials are rolled and laid contractors can build formations on them. They can create heavy formations like motorways, car parks, and driveways. 

The weight of the formations forces the concrete to compact. Crushed concrete sub bases lose height over time. Contractors have to return to their concrete sub bases every year to add new layers. This is especially important for large industrial formations that need to meet specific requirements.

Can I use crushed concrete as a sub base?

The simple answer is yes.

We sell batches of Recycled Type 1 MOT and 6F5 Recycled Aggregates. Both these products contain crushed concrete. Contractors often buy these batches for sub bases. 

Our batches contain pieces of concrete that range from dust to 40mm chunks. The combination of big and small pieces of hardcore materials is excellent for contractors who want robust sub bases. The small pieces fill the crevices and help to create an overall stronger structure. 

Does crushed concrete drain?

Contractors have to consider the flow rate of certain construction materials. The flow rate of a material tells contractors how quickly liquids can pass through that material. The higher the flow rate, the quicker liquids can pass through. 

We recommend MOT Type 2 for contractors who need to create drainage systems. It contains 40mm chunks of limestone and granite. We filter the dust out during the manufacturing process. Liquids can drain through MOT Type 2 very quickly.

Will crushed concrete harden?

Yes, crushed concrete will harden over time.

The materials that we produce are often used as sub bases. Contractors build large, heavy structures on top of sub bases. The weight of the structures forces the sub bases underneath to compact and harden. Over time, the materials move closer together and meld together. The closeness of the materials creates even more robust structures. 

Crushed materials do not achieve the same hardness or smoothness as ready mix concrete.

Is crushed concrete toxic?

This is a common concern. 

At HH Muckers, we take all the precautions that we can to protect your health. We use industrial machines to source materials from quarries and demolition sites. When the materials break away, dust particles are released into the air. 

If inhaled, concrete dust particles can be harmful to health. Our staff always wear PPE to protect themselves from dust particles. We encourage our customers to wear PPE wherever possible to minimise the risk of inhaling dust. 

All our materials undergo testing and are safe to handle.
