MOT Type 1 near me

If you are searching for ‘MOT Type 1 near me’, you are in the right place. 

MOT is a range of products that contain various materials. They are all united because they are suitable for transport sub bases. The Ministry of Transport, the regulatory body that MOT products earn their name from, approves specific batches for use in transport bases.

This MOT product contains limestone and granite that both come from quarries. We crush the materials down to 40mm. The finished batch contains a combination of big and small materials that combine to create sturdy bases. 

MOT Type 1 hardcore is perfect for driveways and motorways. A thin layer of this product can even support motorways. 

Recycled Type 1 MOT

Our recycled materials come from demolition sites around Roydon. This batch contains concrete, granite, limestone, and brick. The pieces range from specks of dust to 75mm chunks. 

Recycled MOT Type 1 is good for transport sub bases. This material can support roads and other transport structures.

MOT Type 2 Clean

This MOT product contains the primary building materials limestone and granite. We take them from quarries around Roydon and crush them down to size. All the different sizes go into a big industrial net which forces them to separate. 

MOT Type 2 only contains 40mm pieces. For this reason, Type 2 is good for drainage systems. Drainage systems need batches of materials that have high flow rates. The fewer the sizes, the higher the flow rate. 

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

This product is perfect for people who need affordable, strong materials. 

We source the materials from demolition sites around Roydon. A single batch of 6F2 Recycled Aggregates can contain sand, stone, and brick. The pieces range from specks of dust to 75mm chunks. 

If you have bulk-fill tasks to complete, Recycled 6F2 is perfect.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Screened Type 1 contains concrete that comes from quarries. We crush the materials, screen them, and batch them up for delivery in Roydon. 

Screened products are suitable for a number of construction tasks. Our customers lay this concrete floor screening to support structures such as patios and pavements. Other customers use this product in drainage systems and bulk-fill tasks.

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

This product is almost identical to our 40mm screened concrete. The only difference is that the pieces are 75mm. 

75mm pieces of crushed concrete are suitable for the same tasks as 40mm pieces of concrete. If you have a lot of ground to cover, it might be worth opting for the bigger pieces. It might work out cheaper for you in the long run.

What is a sub base?

It is a common misunderstanding that sub bases are complicated. In fact, bases are simple structures that you can install in no time. Most bases are comprised of a thin layer of compact crushed materials. Labourers roll the materials in place to create a cohesive, sturdy structure. 

Bases can even be as thin as four inches. Once bases have been set, labourers can use them as workstations. They can erect buildings or place more foundation layers such as patios.

What materials do I need for a sub base?

If you need to create a sub base, you should consider crushed materials. They are affordable and sturdy, and most crushed batches have excellent load-bearing qualities. 

MOT Type 1 sub bases are common on construction sites in Roydon. Our customers choose this product because it has excellent load-bearing qualities. The big and small materials work together to create strong bases. 

Type 1 is not the only material that you can choose for a base. We recommend our 6F2 Recycled Aggregates to people who want to create affordable bases. The materials in this batch come from demolition sites, which makes them far more affordable than MOT materials.

What does the term ‘flow rate’ mean?

The flow rate of a material tells us how fast liquids pass through a batch of crushed materials. It is a common term on construction sites all over Roydon. In fact, contractors have to consider the flow rate of our materials for lots of different construction tasks. 

If you hear someone saying that a batch has a high flow rate, they mean that liquids can pass through the batch quickly. The opposite is true of batches that have low flow rates. Things like small pieces of debris and different-sized chunks can obstruct liquids.

Crushed concrete prices

When you choose HH Muckers, you can expect transparent prices.

You can choose from screened concrete or batches of concrete that contain a range of sizes. Each finished product has a different starting price per ton. 

Contractors in Roydon love the fact that they can buy our materials by the ton. They never have to waste money on extra tons.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Crushed materials are very versatile.

  • Screened materials – Screened materials are those that only contain one size. We use an industrial net to separate sizes and throw the smaller pieces away. We sell 40mm and 75mm pieces of screened concrete, limestone, and granite. They are suitable for drainage systems and loose-fill projects. 
  • MOT products – The acronym MOT refers to the Ministry of Transport. Any product that has this acronym in the title is suitable for transport bases. The materials in these products are so strong that even a four-inch base can hold transport structures. They have excellent load-bearing qualities.
  • Recycled materials – We source some of our materials from demolition sites around Roydon. Recycled materials are more affordable than materials that come directly from quarries, but they are no less useful. Recycled 6F2 is just one of our products that contain recycled materials, and it is perfect for bulk-fill tasks. 

Does crushed concrete drain?

Some batches of crushed concrete drain more than others. Drainage systems and other construction projects need materials that have high flow rates. Materials other than concrete are also good for drainage systems. 

Recycled Type 1 MOT contains materials that range from specks of dust to 40mm. This product has a low flow rate, which means that it is not good for drainage systems. Liquids can pass through this product, but they will carry smaller materials away with the flow. 

MOT Type 2 only contains 40mm pieces of granite and limestone. We recommend this product to contractors who need to create drainage systems. Liquids can pass through Type 2  quickly as they are unobstructed by small chunks.

Will crushed concrete harden?

Crushed concrete can harden, but it depends on the circumstances. 

If you use concrete pieces in sub bases, you will have to roll the materials and wait for them to set. This process encourages the materials to compact into a sturdy base. In this case, the pieces will harden.

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

Is crushed concrete toxic?

There are a few features of concrete that you need to be aware of. 

Crushed concrete has high levels of alkali. This does not present a problem until leachates form and transfer alkalis to other areas on your site. Leachates are liquids that absorb chemicals. The solution to this problem is simple: put pH controls in place to stop leachates from forming. 

Another issue arises when concrete particles become airborne. When the particles are airborne they can impact anyone who is on your site. Labourers and site managers can develop health issues related to their lungs. To avoid this issue, just ask everyone on your site to wear a mask.
