MOT Type 1 near me
One of the most common questions that contractors ask us is, ‘what is MOT Type 1?’
This is one of the most popular types of MOT. MOT Type 1 hardcore contains limestone and granite. We use industrial machines to collect the materials. The machines grind the chunks together to create 40mm pieces. Our customers can expect to find pieces that range from 40mm to dust in batches of Type 1.
MOT Type 1 sub bases have excellent load-bearing qualities. Contractors lay Type 1, roll it, and then build construction formations on top. This type of MOT can handle car parks, driveways, and motorways.
Recycled Type 1 MOT
When contractors in Hertford search for ‘Recycled Type 1 near me’ our name pops up.
We source crushed concrete from demolition sites in the surrounding areas. Our industrial machines scoop up the concrete and other construction site materials. We transport the materials to a local laboratory for testing. Once the materials are approved, we grind them together to form 40mm chunks.
We recommend Recycled Type 1 for contractors who want affordable sub bases. The materials are even eco-friendly. If we do not repurpose the materials they will be thrown away. Batches of Recycled MOT Type 1 are ideal for contractors who need to meet environmental requirements.
Contact our team on 01992 635454 for more information about Recycled MOT.
MOT Type 2 Clean
A lot of our customers ask, ‘what is MOT Type 2?’
It is very similar to Type 1. It contains limestone and granite that we source from quarries. We also grind the pieces down to 40mm chunks. The Ministry of Transport has approved this product for use in sub bases.
One important thing to note about Type 2 is that it does not contain dust particles. We filter the dust particles out. This means that MOT Type 2 is suitable for drainage systems. Other crushed materials that contain dust particles will clog drainage systems.
6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm
Like Recycled MOT Type 1, 6F5 Recycled Aggregates contain crushed concrete. We use industrial machines to extract concrete from demolition sites. We grind the pieces together to form 75mm chunks.
By choosing this material, contractors can repurpose materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Contractors use this product to create strong, affordable sub bases.
It is important to note that batches of 6F2 Recycled Aggregates contain other construction materials. Pieces of brick, rock, and wood might also be scooped up during the sourcing process.
Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm
Screened concrete products do not contain dust.
We use industrial machines to collect chunks of concrete from quarries. Then, we grind the pieces down to 40mm chunks and remove the dust.
Contractors all over Hertford contact us for high-quality concrete floor screening. 40mm crushed concrete screening is perfect for flooring construction tasks. Once the materials are laid and placed, contractors can create construction formations.
Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm
Likewise, this type of concrete floor screening comes from quarries. We use industrial machines to collect the materials and grind them together. Our screening products do not contain dust particles.
75mm pieces of crushed concrete are very robust. They are perfect for flooring projects. They can handle heavy loads and hold large formations steady.

Give one of our staff members a call to find out how much your batch of crushed materials will cost.
What can I use crushed concrete for?
Crushed materials are construction site staples. They form excellent bases and can hold heavy construction formations.
Here are some of the ways that contractors use our crushed materials.
20mm concrete – This is the smallest crushed concrete that we produce. They are significantly smaller than our larger crushed materials. Lots of contractors buy these materials to support batches that contain larger pieces of hardcore materials.
MOT Type 1 – This is the most popular MOT product that we stock. The combination of big and small pieces creates strong sub bases. We recommend MOT Type 1 sub bases for large-scale tasks such as motorways.
Recycled MOT Type 1 – This is the most environmentally-friendly type of MOT that we stock. It is affordable and strong. We recommend it for contractors who want to build affordable sub bases. Recycled sub bases can support car parks, driveways, and a number of other construction formations.
MOT Type 2 – This is the only type of MOT that we sell that does not contain dust particles. Contractors can expect 40mm chunks of limestone and granite in Type 2 batches. We recommend Type 2 for drainage systems.
6F2 Recycled Aggregates – These aggregates come from demolition sites. Contractors can expect bits of wood, stone, and brick alongside their crushed concrete. This product is affordable, which makes it perfect for bulk-fill projects.
Will crushed concrete compact?
Lots of contractors buy our materials to create sub bases. For this task, contractors have to place and roll the materials. This will force the materials to move closer together and compact. Once that stage is complete, contractors can build construction formations on top of the sub base. The weight of the formation also forces the materials to compact.
Crushed concrete sub bases can compact so much that they no longer meet building requirements. Lots of contractors have to add extra layers of concrete to their sub bases as years pass to meet the right requirements.
What is the difference between MOT and crushed concrete?
There is a lot of confusion about MOT and crushed concrete.
MOT stands for Ministry of Transport. Products that have ‘MOT’ in the title have been approved for use in sub bases by an industry authority. MOT products contain either limestone or granite or a combination of both. The materials are sourced straight from quarries.
Crushed concrete is sourced from demolition sites. We use industrial machines to collect the materials. They undergo testing and a further manufacturing process to grind the pieces down to size. Contractors can repurpose materials that would otherwise be thrown away and also create strong sub bases.
Does crushed concrete drain?
Most materials drain to a certain extent. Another term for this is the flow rate. Some batches of materials have higher flow rates than others.
Batches of Recycled 6F2 Aggregates contain a combination of big and small pieces of crushed concrete. The flow rate is not as high as MOT Type 2. We filter the fine dust out, which means that liquid can move freely through the materials.
Will crushed concrete harden?
The simple answer is yes.
Crushed concrete is often used in sub bases. Sub bases must be laid and rolled. This causes the materials to move closer together and harden. The chunks of concrete will continue to harden as contractors build heavy formations on top.
The crushed materials that we sell will never be as hard or smooth as ready mix concrete.
Is crushed concrete toxic?
Like a lot of construction materials, concrete can be harmful to health if not handled correctly.
We source concrete from existing sites that are being demolished. Once we have the materials, we grind them together in an industrial machine. When the materials break apart dust is released into the air. Our staff wear protective equipment such as masks to ensure they do not inhale the dust. Inhaling the dust can cause long-term health issues.
We encourage contractors to wear PPE when they are working with crushed concrete.
Can I talk to someone about safety advice before the delivery?
Yes, our customers can call us at any time.
Our sourcing and manufacturing staff all undergo regular training to ensure they follow the best health and safety practices. If you are ever concerned about our procedures, give us a call on 01992 635454. You can ask our staff members about our sourcing, manufacturing, and delivery processes.
Can I cancel my order?
Customers can cancel their orders if they give us 24 hours’ notice.
