What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

We stock lots of types of crushed materials. 

Our team collect concrete from demolition sites and limestone and granite from quarries. We turn concrete into Recycled MOT Type 1 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates. Limestone and granite become different types of MOT. 

MOT stands for the Ministry of Transport. The Ministry of Transport is now the Department of Transport. It is a regulatory body that manages the transport network in the UK. Crushed materials that have been approved for use in motorways and sub bases have the phrase ‘MOT’ in the title. 

MOT Type 1 near me

So, what is MOT Type 1?

This type of MOT contains limestone and granite. We take the materials from quarries and grind them down to 40mm chunks. Each batch of MOT Type 1 hardcore contains concrete that ranges from dust to 40mm pieces. 

We recommend this type of MOT for contractors who need to build strong sub bases. The combination of dust particles and big chunks creates sturdy bases. Once the base has been set, contractors can create all sorts of building formations.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

This is the only kind of MOT that we sell that contains recycled materials. We use industrial machines to collect materials from demolition sites. If we did not use the materials they would be thrown away. Recycled materials are ideal for contractors who need to meet environmental quotas. 

We grind the crushed concrete in Recycled Type 1 MOT down to 40mm chunks. 

Lots of contractors use Recycled MOT for sub bases. The combination of big and small hardcore materials creates strong bases. Contractors can build motorways, car parks, and paths.

MOT Type 2 Clean

One of the most common questions that contractors ask us is, what is MOT Type 2?

We source limestone and granite from quarries. We use industrial machines to grind the materials into 40mm chunks. Our team run the concrete through a net which removes all the fine particles of dust. This is the only type of MOT that we sell that only contains large chunks. 

We recommend MOT Type 2 for drainage systems. It is the perfect material for drainage systems because it does not contain small materials that liquids can carry away.

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

Batches of 6F2 Recycled Aggregates contain crushed aggregates. 

We use industrial machines to remove concrete from demolition sites. Our machines also scoop up other building materials. Contractors can expect to find a range of hardcore materials including brick and stone in their batches of 6F5 Recycled Aggregates. Our team grind the pieces down to 75mm chunks. 

Lots of contractors buy 6F2 Recycled batches for bulk-fill tasks. This material is affordable and sturdy.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Concrete screening is sourced from quarries. Type 1 concrete floor screening consists of 40mm pieces. 

Screened concrete is typically used to create strong floor areas. Contractors spread it under paving, walkways, and patios. It creates a strong basis for primary construction projects. Customers can easily build on concrete floor screening.  

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

Like 40mm screened crushed concrete, this screened concrete does not contain dust particles. We collect the concrete, crush it, and remove anything other than 75mm pieces. 

Contractors might need large pieces of concrete for any number of reasons. Our concrete floor screening is affordable, which makes it the perfect choice for contractors who need to complete large flooring tasks.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Crushed aggregates, concrete, limestone, and granite have lots of uses.

The smallest crushed concrete chunks that we sell are 20mm. In most cases, contractors buy batches of 20mm concrete to add to other batches. 20mm chunks can fill the crevices that larger chunks leave behind. The overall result is a stronger structure. 

MOT Type 1 is a strong, robust batch that can support heavy structures. For this reason, it is often rolled and laid as a sub base. Once the sub base is in place, contractors can build structures, motorways, and pavements.

As the name suggests, Recycled MOT Type 1 contains recycled materials. It is cheaper than regular Type 1, but can still create strong sub bases. 

MOT Type 2 can also create sub bases, but contractors often buy it for drainage systems. We filter fine concrete out of the mixture, which means that only 40mm chunks remain. 

We make 6F2 Recycled Aggregates for bulk-fill building tasks. These batches contain a range of hardcore crushed aggregates. 6F2 batches are affordable and robust.  

Will crushed concrete compact?

Any material that is used as a sub base will compact over time.

We sell crushed limestone, concrete, granite, and aggregates. Most of the time, contractors buy our materials for sub bases. Contractors need to lay sub bases for motorways, car parks, driveways, and many other formations. 

The first step is laying the concrete. Contractors spread the concrete out and roll it. This process forces the materials to compact. When the sub base is complete, contractors can build their formations. The weight of the formations forces the materials to compact even more. 

Some sub bases compact so much that they no longer meet building requirements. In this case, contractors need to return to the sub base every year and add new layers of concrete.

Does crushed concrete drain?

Some batches of materials drain quicker than others. The ‘flow rate’ of a batch tells contractors how quickly liquid can drain through. Sub bases might not need to have a high flow rate, but drainage systems do. 

MOT Type 2 is sometimes called Clean because it does not contain particles of limestone or granite. It only contains 40mm pieces. We recommend this product for contractors who need to create drainage systems. Liquid passes through this type of MOT very quickly.

Will crushed concrete harden?

Yes, it will harden over time. The installation process and the weight of the building formations force the materials in the sub base to harden and compact. 

Contractors should be aware that crushed concrete will never become as smooth or as hard as ready mix concrete.

Is crushed concrete toxic?

If handled incorrectly, crushed materials can have a long-term impact on health. It is dangerous for humans to inhale concrete particles. 

Most concrete particles are released into the air during the sourcing process. We send experienced machine operators to collect concrete from demolition sites. When the pieces of concrete break away, small particles become airborne. 

Our experienced staff members wear protective equipment. They wear masks to protect themselves from dust particles. We encourage contractors and homeowners to wear masks during their delivery slot.
