What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

We sell lots of types of crushed concrete. We also sell crushed aggregates, limestone, and granite. 

MOT contains limestone and granite. MOT stands for Ministry of Transport, which is a regulatory body that managed car safety. Now, the Ministry of Transport has merged into the Department of Transport. It handles England’s transport network.

Lots of our limestone and granite products are used in sub bases for pavements and motorways. The Department of Transport can approve materials for use in motorway sub bases. In this case, the product will have the acronym MOT in the title. 

MOT Type 1 near me

What is MOT Type 1?

It is a product that contains crushed primary building materials. Limestone and granite are both primary construction materials. They are known for having excellent load-bearing qualities. We use industrial machines to collect limestone and granite from quarries. Once we have the materials we grind them down to 40mm chunks. 

MOT Type 1 hardcore is designed for sub bases. The batches contain materials that range from dust to 40mm. The big and small hardcore materials complement each other. Builders can create motorways, car parks, and patios on top of Type 1 bases.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

As the name suggests, Recycled Type 1 MOT contains recycled materials. We go to demolition sites and collect concrete that would otherwise be destroyed. Our machines might also scoop up other building site materials like brick. When we have the materials we crush them down to 40mm chunks. Batches of Recycled MOT Type 1 contain crushed concrete that ranges from dust to 40mm. 

Contractors buy this type of MOT when they want to create robust sub bases.

MOT Type 2 Clean

This is the only type of MOT that we sell that does not contain a range of chunks.

So, what is MOT Type 2?

It is a popular sub base batch that contains limestone and granite. We collect the materials from quarries in and around Puckeridge. We crush the materials into 40mm chunks and filter out the rest.

This product has MOT in the title, which means that it is perfect for sub bases. Lots of contractors also buy this product for drainage systems. MOT Type 2 does not contain dust particles, which makes it perfect for these kinds of systems.

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

This product contains a combination of crushed aggregates. It is more affordable than any MOT products that contain primary construction materials. 

We source 6F2 Recycled Aggregates (which are sometimes called 6F5 Recycled Aggregates) from demolition sites. This product primarily contains crushed concrete, but our industrial machines also pick up a lot of other hardcore materials. 

We recommend 6F2 Recycled batches for bulk-fill tasks.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Screening is a manufacturing process that removes fine particles of dust. We collect concrete floor screening materials from quarries. Our industrial machines grind the pieces together to create 40mm chunks. We screen the crushed concrete, which means that only 40mm pieces remain.

This product is designed for flooring tasks. Concrete floor screening is strong and robust. Once it is in place, contractors can build pavements, paths, and other floor bases.

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

This type of concrete floor screening contains 75mm chunks. 

Batches of 75mm concrete floor screening only contain large chunks. We collect the materials from quarries and crush them down to size. The screening process filters out fine bits of dust. 

Like 40mm screening, 75mm screening is designed for flooring tasks. Larger pieces of hardcore concrete are better for bigger projects. This product is an affordable alternative to materials like limestone and granite.

We only deliver orders that are over 8 tons.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Contractors use our materials in lots of different ways. 

The smallest chunks of crushed concrete that we sell are 20mm. Our customers often buy small chunks of hardcore materials to support other batches. For example, 20mm concrete can fill the gaps that 40mm chunks of MOT Type 2 leave behind.

MOT Type 1 is a popular product amongst contractors in Puckeridge. It creates strong sub bases that have excellent load-bearing qualities. 

Recycled MOT Type 1 is the go-to choice for contractors who want to create affordable sub bases. The materials come from demolition sites. By choosing this product, contractors can repurpose building materials and meet eco-friendly quotas. 

MOT Type 2 only contains 40mm chunks of limestone and granite. Contractors do not have to worry about dust particles clogging their drainage systems. 

6F2 Recycled Aggregates are designed for bulk-fill projects. They contain a combination of hardcore aggregates that can support heavy structures.

Will crushed concrete compact?

The simple answer is yes. 

In most cases, crushed concrete will compact over time. This applies to all types of MOT and the crushed aggregates that we stock. 

Crushed materials are used for sub bases. When they are properly spread, compacted, and installed, they will harden and create a firm base. This is an important consideration for people who want to create driveways and formation structures. Contractors might have to add a few layers at a time and compact each layer to get the load-bearing qualities that they require. They might also have to add new layers every few years to maintain the desired requirements and levels. 

What is your sourcing process?

We source, test, and sell lots of different materials. Contractors depend on us for crushed aggregates, concrete, limestone, and granite.

We source our materials from two different places. We visit quarries and demolition sites around Puckeridge. Concrete can come from either quarries or demolition sites. We only collect granite and limestone from quarries. 

Materials that come from demolition sites are recycled. They would otherwise be thrown away. Industrial machines scoop up concrete and other materials. Contractors who buy recycled materials should expect a range of different aggregates in their batches. 

Call our team on 01992 635454 to learn more.

Does crushed concrete drain?

Sometimes contractors need batches of materials that drain quickly. For example, drainage systems require materials that have high flow rates. The higher the flow rate, the quicker that liquids can drain through. 

Products like MOT Type 1 and Recycled Type 1 MOT have low flow rates. Both of these products contain a range of large chunks and small particles. When liquids drain through the batch the small particles will dislodge. 

We recommend MOT Type 2 to contractors who need materials that have a high flow rate. This product does not contain particles. It is perfect for drainage systems.

Will crushed concrete harden?

Contractors often buy crushed concrete for sub bases. In this case, builders have to lay and press the concrete. This forces the materials to compact and harden. The materials will continue to compact when contractors place a formation on top of the sub base. Concrete is already a hardcore material, but the weight of the formations will force it to harden even more. 

Crushed materials will not be as smooth or hard as ready mix concrete.

Is crushed concrete toxic?

As long as contractors follow our health and safety advice, they have nothing to worry about. 

We use industrial machines to collect concrete, granite, limestone, and aggregates. When the machine breaks away pieces of concrete, particles become airborne. Our drivers wear masks to ensure that they do not inhale concrete particles.

By the time our materials arrive on-site, most of the dust particles will have been released. However, some particles might become airborne when the materials are laid. We advise customers to wear masks wherever possible.

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

Our customers can call us whenever. 

Speak to one of our representatives on 01992 635454. They can answer any of your questions. We are happy to talk about our sourcing, testing, manufacturing, and delivery processes.
