MOT Type 1 near me

When it comes to primary building materials, there is nothing better than MOT Type 1. Contractors in Loughton love this product because it contains two primary building materials. Each batch contains pieces of limestone and granite that range from dust to 40mm. 

We source both these materials from quarries. 

MOT Type 1 often goes into transport sub bases. The materials in this product have brilliant load-bearing qualities. They can hold heavy structures and ensure that weight is distributed evenly across car parks and roads.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

Recycled MOT Type 1 is another material that is suitable for transport sub bases. Driveways, car parks, and motorways all benefit from this material. 

Contractors can expect to find a combination of concrete, limestone, granite, and brick in this batch. All the materials come from demolition sites around Loughton. Recycled Type 1 MOT is more affordable than regular Type 1.

MOT Type 2 Clean

This is a screened product. Before we screen products, we go through all the usual processes. We collect limestone and granite from quarries and crush the pieces. Then, we put all the pieces in an industrial-sized net. We throw away all the small pieces that fall through, and only the 40mm pieces remain. 

MOT Type 2 is good for drainage systems. Most screened products are suitable for drainage systems because they have a high flow rate.

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

If you are searching for recycled bulk-fill materials, look no further. 

6F2 Recycled Aggregates are made for bulk-fill tasks. This batch is made up of pieces of sand, stone, and brick. We collect all these materials from demolition sites around Loughton. The sizes range from dust to 75mm. 

We recommend 6F5 Recycled Aggregates for contractors who want affordable materials.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Crushed concrete is one of the most popular materials that we sell. It is strong and versatile. The concrete in this product comes from quarries around Loughton.

Type 1 screened concrete contains 40mm pieces. We recommend this product for drainage systems and flooring bases.

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

Like 40mm screened concrete, 75mm concrete is suitable for floor bases. Contractors in Loughton also buy this product for drainage systems. 

75mm pieces might be the best option for your project. Depending on how much area you need to cover, 75mm pieces could be more affordable than 40mm pieces. 

If you are unsure about which material you need, give us a call on 01992 635454. One of our representatives will recommend a product for your project.

What does MOT stand for?

If you prefer primary building materials, you might have heard of the acronym MOT. MOT stands for Ministry of Transport. This is an old government regulator that oversaw transport networks in England. 

Now, lots of limestone and granite products are called MOT. If you ever see this acronym in a product, you know that it is suitable for transport bases. Transport bases include driveways, roads, and car parks.

What is a sub base?

A sub base is a simple, thin structure. As the name suggests, sub bases go underneath structures. 

Bases have a supportive role. They ensure that structures stay in place and level. They also bear the weight of whatever structure sits on top of it. 

There are two main types of sub bases: transport bases and building bases. Transport sub bases like roads have thousands of pounds of weight travelling across them every day. They need materials that have excellent load-bearing qualities.

How do I create a sub base?

Contractors use crushed materials to create bases.

We specialise in crushed concrete, limestone, and granite. MOT Type 1 and Recycled MOT Type 1 are popular choices for transport bases.

Once you have decided on a crushed batch, you need to roll it. By rolling the materials, labourers force the materials to compact and stay in place. 

It really is that simple!

What structures need sub bases?

All sorts of structures need bases. If materials are above a certain weight, they need a base.

Bases ensure that heavy materials stay in place. 

Here are a few examples of structures that need bases.

• Buildings
• Patios
• Sheds
• Driveways
• Roads
• Car parks
• Motorways

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Contractors all over Loughton use our materials for construction projects.

• Drainage systems -To create drainage systems, you need a product that has a higher flow rate. Screened batches are perfect for this kind of task because they only contain materials of one size. MOT Type 2 is a good option because it only contains 40mm chunks. 
• Sub bases – There are lots of different kinds of sub bases and we sell materials that suit every one of them. Both transport and building bases benefit from MOT Type 1. This product contains primary building materials that have excellent load-bearing qualities.
• Bulk-fill tasks – Bulk-fill tasks fill gaps on contraction sites. For this kind of task, we recommend affordable aggregates. We sell a product called Recycled 6F2 that contains aggregates that come from demolition sites. This product is more affordable than batches that contain primary building materials.

Will crushed concrete compact?

If you plan on using crushed concrete in sub bases, you can expect the materials to compact. This hardcore material goes into transport and building bases. Even after the base has been set, the weight of the structure on top continues to flatten it. 

Sometimes sub bases flatten so much that contractors need to return to them. Some bases are as thin as four inches, which means that the smallest difference can make a big impact.

Does crushed concrete drain?

We sell a few different kinds of crushed concrete. 

Recycled MOT Type 1 contains concrete, limestone, brick, and granite. The pieces range from bits of debris to 40mm. Liquids can drain through the batch, but not very well. This product has a low flow rate. 

We sell two different batches of screened crushed concrete. One batch contains 40mm pieces and the other batch contains 75mm pieces. Liquids can drain through these batches quickly. Both batches have high flow rates.

Will crushed concrete harden?

Concrete is already a hard, sturdy material. When concrete goes into sub bases, it will harden further.

No matter how much you roll crushed concrete, it will never be as strong or as hard as ready mix concrete.

What delivery options do you offer?

We have been delivering crushed materials to people in Loughton for years. We even deliver to homes! 

We only deliver orders that are over 8 tons. If you want to order fewer than 8 tons, you will have to collect your materials.

The only other stipulation is that you must have a suitable entrance. Call our team on 01992 635454 to see whether you are eligible. 

Is crushed concrete toxic?

Like hardcore building materials, concrete can be dangerous. 

Concrete can be dangerous to health. It is not uncommon for labourers to inhale airborne pieces of concrete. They could develop serious lung issues. Site managers can avoid this problem by asking everyone to wear masks. 

Another problem arises when liquids pass through crushed concrete and turn into leachates. Leachates can spread dangerous chemicals to other areas on construction sites. We recommend putting pH controls in place to avoid this problem. 

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

Our customers benefit from expert health and safety advice. We have worked in the construction industry for years, and understand the unique concerns that our customers have. 

We can give you relevant, tailored advice. Whether you have ordered 8 tons or 80 tons, we are happy to discuss your safety concerns.
