If you are searching for a wide range of construction materials, look no further. Keep scrolling to see the full scope of our materials. 

MOT Type 1 near me

MOT Type 1 is a popular transport base product. Transport structures can be anything from driveways to motorways. To create these structures, labourers need to install strong building blocks underneath. This is where MOT Type 1 sub bases come in. They are known to have excellent load-bearing qualities, which makes them perfect for structures that support hundreds of tons of weight every day.

Each batch contains chunks of granite and limestone that range from specks of dust to 40mm. Both materials come from quarries around Waltham Abbey.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

This recycled version of Type 1 is no less popular than regular Type 1. We call this product recycled because we source the materials from demolition sites around Waltham Abbey. We use wide clam buckets to scoop up a range of materials. The finished batch contains limestone, brick, granite, and concrete. Like the pieces in Type 1, the pieces in this product range from dust to 40mm. 

Contractors who want to create affordable, strong transport bases often buy Recycled Type 1 MOT. 

MOT Type 2 Clean

If you are searching for a product that is suitable for drainage systems, MOT Type 2 is perfect for you.

This product has the best of both worlds. Strong materials combine with a high flow rate to create a versatile product. 

MOT Type 2 only contains 40mm pieces of granite and limestone, which means that it has a high flow rate. Drainage systems need products that have high flow rates.

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

The terms 6F2 and 6F5 are used interchangeably for this product. They refer to a group of sturdy, strong aggregates. 

We collect the materials for this product from demolition sites. One batch of our 6F2 Recycled Aggregates contains sand, brick, and stone. If we do not utilise the materials, they will be thrown away. 

Contractors in Waltham Abbey buy Recycled 6F2 for bulk-fill tasks. The materials are affordable and get the job done. 

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Screened products are different types of batches that are popular in their own right. If a product is labelled as screened, it only contains one size. 

This product is no exception. It only contains 40mm pieces of concrete. The concrete comes straight from quarries. 

Screened products like this one can support a number of construction tasks. Our customers buy batches of Screened Type 1 for concrete flooring projects and drainage systems. 

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

We also sell 75mm pieces of screened crushed concrete. This product is alike our 40mm product in every way apart from the size. The concrete pieces in this batch also come straight from quarries.

We recommend this bigger version for contractors who have larger concrete floor screening projects to fulfil and drainage systems to create.

Frequently asked crushed concrete questions

What locations do your crushed concrete services cover?

How do I create a sub base?

Sub bases should be left to the professionals. There are only a few steps involved, but the process can still be dangerous. 

Labourers all over Waltham Abbey create bases every day. They are essential parts of construction formations. Formations such as buildings, roads, and motorways need supportive layers. This is where sub bases come in.

In simple terms, creating bases involves laying and rolling crushed materials. Once the materials have been rolled into a thin yet compact base, labourers can start building formations.

What structures need sub bases?

All sorts of structures need sub bases. A base acts as a load-bearing layer, which is essential for structures that carry heavy loads.

Here are a few of the structures that need bases.

  • Motorways
  • Roads
  • Driveways 
  • Patios
  • Paths
  • Buildings

How do I know the flow rate of a material?

You can guess the flow rate of a material from the composition. If a product contains materials that range from specks of dust to big chunks, you know that the flow rate is low. The flow rate tells us how quickly liquids travel through batches. If a batch contains a range of sizes, liquids will struggle to move through it unobstructed. 

If a product contains one size, you know that the flow rate is high. These sorts of materials are suitable for drainage systems.

Crushed concrete prices

It has never been easier to find prices for crushed materials. Just give us a call on 01992 635454 for specific information.

We create lots of different products from the same material, so there is no set price for each material. Our crushed concrete prices start from £18 per ton. Batches that contain other materials and more sizes are more expensive per ton.

How much is a truckload of crushed concrete?

This is one of the most popular questions that customers ask us.

Some construction suppliers sell materials by the truckload. We only sell materials by the ton. This eliminates a lot of the stress for contractors who only need a specific amount of materials.

Is crushed concrete cheaper than MOT?

We sell a few different types of crushed concrete and a few types of MOT. 

Products that contain recycled materials are affordable. Recycled MOT Type 1 contains pieces of brick, concrete, limestone, and granite. The materials come from demolition sites around Waltham Abbey. 

If you want more specific information about prices, give us a call on 01992 635454.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

There is no end to the number of ways that contractors use our crushed materials. 

MOT products are popular amongst contractors who need to create transport bases. The name is derived from the Ministry of Transport, an old government regulator that oversaw transport networks. Any product that has MOT in the title will create robust, long-lasting transport bases.

Screened products have all the fine bits filtered out. They only contain one size. We specialise in 40mm and 75mm chunks of concrete, limestone, and granite. Contractors buy screened products for drainage systems and flooring tasks. 

Recycled products contain materials that come from demolition sites. The materials would otherwise be thrown away, which means that they are affordable but no less useful. Recycled MOT Type 1 is a good example of a popular transport base material that contains recycled materials. 

If you are wondering whether a specific material is good for a specific task, give us a call.

What is finer MOT Type 1 or MOT Type 2?

Fine materials combine with big chunks to create sturdy sub bases. This is especially true of MOT Type 1, which contains materials that range from dust to 40mm. The smaller pieces fill in the crevices between the bigger chunks. This product is perfect for people who want to create long-lasting bases. 

MOT Type 2 is different because it only contains big chunks. This is known as a screened product. Unlike Type 1, it does not contain fine materials.

Does crushed concrete drain?

This is another popular question from contractors in Waltham Abbey.

We sell a few different crushed concrete products. None of them are completely alike, so they all drain at different rates. The rate at which materials drain is called the flow rate. 

Recycled MOT Type 1 contains brick, granite, limestone, and concrete. This product drains far less slowly than Screened Type 1 Crushed Concrete, which only contains 40mm pieces of concrete. 

The more sizes in the batch, the slower the batch will drain. You can apply this principle to the other materials that we stock.

Will crushed concrete harden?

Crushed concrete will harden over time. Of course, this assumes that you are putting concrete into sub bases. If you use pieces of concrete for loose-fill tasks, the concrete will probably not compact and harden. 

Crushed pieces of concrete will never be as hard as ready mix concrete. 

What are my delivery options?

You are only eligible for delivery if you order over eight tons. 

If you order over eight tons, we will do everything we can to make the delivery as seamless as possible. We employ experienced drivers who deliver to homes and construction sites all over Waltham Abbey.

Dangers of crushed concrete

It is no secret that crushed concrete can be dangerous. 

Here are some of the things to watch out for when concrete is on your site. 

  • Poor handling – Concrete is a heavy, hardcore material. As with any hardcore material, concrete requires careful handling. We deliver concrete by the ton, so it is a good idea to let us know where you want your concrete ahead of time. The fewer times your labourers have to move heavy concrete pieces, the fewer times they might injure themselves. This leads to the next danger, airborne particles. 
  • Airborne particles – Particles become airborne when pieces of concrete move around. On the average construction site, this happens a lot. When pieces of concrete become airborne, the chance of developing lung issues increases significantly. To protect the people on your site, you should ask them to wear masks.
  • Leachates – Leachates are one of the lesser-known dangers of concrete. Leachates are liquids that have absorbed dangerous chemicals. Concrete is high in alkalis. Once the leachate has formed, it can spread alkalis to other objects on your site. To avoid this problem, consider putting pH controls in place.
