What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

We specialise in crushed materials. Our drivers use a crushing machine to create 20mm, 40mm, and 75mm crushed pieces. Some of our batches contain combinations of sizes and others only contain one size, which makes them perfect for drainage systems.

More often than not, contractors buy our materials for sub bases.

Lots of people buy MOT for bases because it has excellent load-bearing qualities. The acronym MOT refers to the Ministry of Transport, an old regulatory body that managed transport networks across the UK. Now, it lends its name to materials that are suitable for transport sub bases.

MOT Type 1 near me

So, what is MOT Type 1?

Like all the other popular types of MOT, this product contains limestone and granite. Our drivers go to quarries around Palmers Green to collect the materials. They crush the materials down to 40mm chunks. Each batch contains a combination of big and small materials with the biggest pieces being 40mm.

MOT Type 1 bases have great load-bearing qualities. Labourers can roll this product as thin as 4 inches and still create a strong base for buildings and transport structures.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

True to its name, Recycled Type 1 MOT contains recycled materials. Our drivers go to active demolition site around Palmers Green to collect materials. They scoop up all sorts from granite to concrete, brick, and even limestone.

Each batch of Recycled MOT Type 1 contains materials that start from dust and go up to 40mm.

We recommend this product to contractors who need to create strong bases on a budget. Because it contains recycled materials, it is more affordable than regular Type 1. Despite being cheaper, it still has good load-bearing qualities.

MOT Type 2 Clean

Unlike a lot of our crushed products, MOT Type 2 only contains one size. Our drivers go to quarries in and around Palmers Green to collect limestone and granite. They put the materials in a crushing machine to create 40mm pieces.

Then, the materials undergo a process called screening. Our team place the materials in a large industrial-sized net. This separates the big pieces from the small pieces.

We throw all the small pieces away and only 40mm pieces remain. MOT is perfect for drainage systems. It has a high flow rate because liquid can pass through the batch quickly. Some customers also buy this product for sub bases.

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

We sell 6F2 Recycled Aggregates to contractors who have to fulfil bulk-fill tasks.

This batch contains materials that come from active demolition sites. Our drivers use a wide clam bucket to scoop up slag, stone, and sand. Contractors might also find other materials in their batch.

6F5 Recycled Aggregate pieces range from dust to 75mm. They are affordable and strong.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Screened products only contain one size. For this batch, we collect concrete from quarries around Palmers Green. We grind the pieces together until we get 40mm chunks. Then, we place the materials in an industrial-sized net. Once the sizes are separated, we throw away all the small chunks.

Screened crushed concrete is perfect for contractors who want to create strong floors. Concrete floor screening can hold lots of heavy structures.

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

This concrete floor screening is almost identical to our 40mm product. The pieces are 30mm bigger, which is ideal for contractors who have to complete large flooring projects.

What is MOT?

MOT products are approved for use in transport sub bases.

When contractors need to create transport sub bases, they buy batches of MOT. MOT has brilliant load-bearing qualities. Even the thinnest base can hold heavy structures. As long as the base is 4 or more inches, it will get the job done.

Does crushed concrete drain?

Yes!

The rate that materials drain at is called a flow rate. The higher the flow rate, the faster the materials drain.

We sell a few different kinds of crushed concrete. MOT Type 1 hardcore has a low flow rate. It contains materials that are as small as debris and as big as 40mm.

MOT Type 2 has a high flow rate. It only comes with 40mm pieces of limestone and granite. Contractors buy this material when they need to create drainage systems.

Is crushed concrete toxic?

Contractors should always be careful when they are handling building materials.

Concrete can pose a threat to health. When liquids pass through crushed concrete they absorb large amounts of alkalis and become leachates. Leachates form when liquids absorb harmful chemicals. Once the leachate has passed through the material, it can transfer dangerous chemicals to other areas on your construction site. Contractors can combat this problem by putting pH controls in place.

Airborne concrete particles are also dangerous. Particles can become airborne during the sourcing process or even when they are on your site. We always encourage contractors and labourers to wear masks.
