MOT Type 1 near me

This product contains primary building materials. We take chunks of limestone and granite from quarries around Luton. The finished batch comes with pieces that range from dust to 40mm. 

MOT Type 1 sub bases are perfect for transport structures. In fact, MOT products are approved for use in transport bases. This product is perfect because it comes with primary building materials. These materials have brilliant load-bearing qualities, meaning they can support roads and even motorways without a problem.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

This is a more affordable option than regular Type 1. It contains materials that come from demolition sites. We collect pieces of brick, limestone, granite, and concrete that would otherwise be thrown away. The finished batch contains a collection of materials that start from dust and increase to 40mm chunks. 

Recycled MOT Type 1 can go into lots of different construction projects. Contractors in Luton use this product for transport sub bases.

MOT Type 2 Clean

Screened products play a big part in construction tasks. They are useful for drainage systems and loose-fill tasks. 

MOT Type 2 is a screened product. To create this batch, we take limestone and granite straight from quarries. We crush the materials as usual, but we also put them through a big net. This separates the sizes and allows us to throw away all the small bits. The end product only contains 40mm pieces.

If you are searching for a product that has a high flow rate, look no further. MOT Type 2 has the highest flow rate of all our materials.

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

6F2 Recycled contains crushed aggregates. We go to demolition sites to collect sand, brick, and stone. The pieces in the finished batch range from dust to 75mm. 

We recommend 6F2 Recycled Aggregates to contractors who need to fulfil bulk-fill tasks. The range of pieces slot together to create bulky, strong structures. Bulk-fill projects do not need the most expensive materials, so a more affordable product like this will work fine.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

This is another popular screened product. 

Unlike MOT Type 2, this product contains one material. We collect concrete straight from quarries and put it in a crushing machine. The batch undergoes our screening process and only 40mm pieces remain. 

Contractors use Screened Type 1 Crushed Concrete for floor screening and drainage tasks.

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

We have created 75mm Screened Crushed Concrete for customers who are working on bigger projects. It is almost identical to the 40mm version, but the pieces are 75mm instead. 

75mm pieces of crushed concrete can accomplish all the same tasks as 40mm concrete.

What is a sub base?

A sub base is a compact, sturdy structure that goes underneath construction formations. 

Most bases are made from crushed materials. Crushed materials strike a perfect balance between sturdiness and affordability. 

For sub bases, you need to find a product that has both big and small materials. MOT Type 1 is a popular choice because it contains materials that range from dust to 40mm. Once the materials have been rolled into place, the sizes will slot together to form a compact base.

What is the point of a sub base?

Sub bases exist to stabilise structures. They go underneath buildings, roads, and all kinds of other heavy formations. They act as a load-bearing layer and ensure that everything stays in place. 

They can stop problems like channelisation. When cars travel over transport structures that have been laid incorrectly, ruts can occur. Strong bases can prevent this problem from happening.

Do I need to create sub bases?

If you need to create construction structures, the chance is that you need to create sub bases. Structures can be anything from buildings to motorways. 

The main purpose of bases is to support structures. They bear massive weights and make sure that weight is evenly distributed. Without bases, structures will crumble and sag over time.

What types of sub bases are there?

There are two types of sub bases: building bases and transport bases. 

Building bases support sheds, patios, and houses. Transport bases support driveways, roads, and motorways.

Is crushed concrete good for transport sub bases?

MOT is the go-to choice for transport bases. These products gain their name from the Ministry of Transport. Years ago, this ministry managed transport networks all over the country. It is no longer active, but it lends its name to products that are suitable for transport bases. 

MOT Type 1 is the perfect choice for this project. It contains crushed granite and limestone pieces that come straight from quarries. These materials are primary construction materials, and they have excellent load-bearing qualities. 

Crushed concrete is another good choice for transport bases, but MOT products are always the first choice.

Why should I choose materials that come from demolition sites?

If you are searching for cheaper materials, you should consider materials from demolition sites. 

We collect materials from quarries and demolition sites. Materials from quarries tend to be more expensive because they have never been used before. 

Materials that come from demolition sites are far more affordable. We scoop up chunks from old houses, buildings, and structures. The materials have been used before, and if we did not repurpose them they would be thrown away.

Crushed concrete prices

At HH Muckers, we promise transparent prices and comprehensive services. 

All our products start at different price points. Crushed concrete starts from £18 per ton, but this price varies based on which product you want. We sell lots of kinds of concrete products. Some come from quarries, and others come from demolition sites. This sort of difference can significantly change the price. 

To enquire about our prices, call 01992 635454. 

Do you sell materials by the truckload?

This is a common question from contractors in Luton. 

We sell crushed materials by the ton. Our customers do not have to commit to buying large quantities of materials that they do not need. Contractors in Luton come to us because we will sell them the exact number of tons that they need.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

We focus on crushed limestone, granite, concrete, and aggregates. They go into all sorts of construction tasks. 

  • Sub bases –  We sell lots of batches of crushed materials for sub bases. All sorts of materials can go into bases. MOT, which contains limestone and granite, is a popular choice for transport bases. These primary construction materials have excellent load-bearing qualities, which makes them great for road bases.
  • Drainage systems – Drainage systems do not necessarily need primary building materials, but they do need screened products. Screened products only contain one size, which means that they have high flow rates and are perfect for this kind of job. We recommend MOT Type 2 for this kind of construction project.
  • Bulk-fill tasks – Bulk-fill tasks are as common as sub bases, but they do not need expensive materials. For this kind of task, most contractors buy crushed aggregates that come from demolition sites. Recycled 6F2 is a good choice because it contains aggregates that range from dust to 75mm.

What is a flow rate?

This is a common construction term. It tells us how fast or slow liquids travel through materials or collections of materials. When we talk about flow rates, we are referring to entire batches.

Why do I need to know the flow rate of crushed materials?

For some construction tasks, you need materials that have certain characteristics. 

If a product has a high flow rate, it means that liquids travel through the batch fast. The opposite is true of products that have low flow rates. 

For sub bases, you need to choose a product that has a low flow rate. For drainage systems, you need a product that has a high flow rate. Screened products always have high flow rates because they only contain one size. 

Are crushed materials dangerous?

Like any hardcore material, crushed concrete can be dangerous. We sell lots of hardcore materials. 

Here are some of the things to watch out for. 

  • Leachates – Any liquid that absorbs chemicals can become a leachate. Water can pass through crushed concrete, absorb alkalis, and become a leachate. Once it has formed, it can travel anywhere. It can spread to other areas on your site and cause chaos. You can avoid this problem by putting pH controls in place.
  • Particles – When you move crushed materials, particles are displaced and become airborne. Airborne particles can travel anywhere, and can even be inhaled. If you inhale crushed concrete particles, you might develop lung issues. The fix is simple: wear a mask when you are on site. 
  • Strain – If labourers do not handle crushed materials in the right way, they could develop serious injuries. This is true of MOT Type 1, MOT Type 2, and all the other heavy hardcore materials we sell. The easiest way to avoid this is to minimise moving. We will deliver your materials exactly where you need them.
