What types of crushed concrete do you stock?

Crushed materials are common on construction sites. Three of the most common materials are concrete, limestone, and granite. We crush the materials and put them into different products.

Limestone and granite go into most MOT products. MOT is an excellent choice for transport sub bases and drainage systems. The name is even derived from the Ministry of Transport, a government regulator that managed transport networks in England. 

We also sell crushed aggregates, which are an affordable alternative to our more expensive products.

MOT Type 1 near me

MOT products are approved for sub bases.

MOT Type 1 contains chunks of granite and limestone. We source these primary building materials from quarries around Wanstead and put them in a crushing machine. You can expect to find big and small pieces in this product. The small bits are as little as dust and the big pieces are as large as 40mm. 

We recommend Type 1 to contractors who need to create transport sub bases. The big pieces create robust bases, and the small pieces slot into the crevices to strengthen the finished product. MOT Type 1 sub bases can support driveways and roads.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

Recycled Type 1 MOT is no less useful than regular Type 1. 

Instead of quarries, the materials come from demolition sites. We crush the materials down to size and batch them up for delivery across Wanstead. You can expect to find brick, limestone, granite, and concrete in this product. The sizes range from dust to 40mm.

Our customers use this product for sub bases. It can support building and transport bases.

MOT Type 2 Clean

Contractors in Wanstead buy MOT Type 2 for drainage systems. 

This product is screened, which means that it only contains big pieces. We collect limestone and granite from quarries and grind the pieces together. The result is pieces that range from dust to 40mm. We put the batch in a big net, and throw away all the small bits that fall through. 

MOT Type 2 only contains 40mm pieces. Liquids move through this product quickly, which means that it has a high flow rate. It is perfect for drainage systems!

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

Sometimes contractors refer to this product as 6F2 Recycled Aggregates, and other times they call it 6F5 Recycled Aggregates.

We go to demolition sites all over Wanstead to collect the materials for this product. Brick, sand, and stone are all included in the finished batch. If we did not collect them, they would be thrown away. This means that the batch is more affordable than batches that contain primary building materials.

One batch of 6F2 Recycled Aggregates contains materials that range from dust to 75mm. We recommend this product for bulk-fill projects.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Screened products are no less popular than products that contain a range of sizes. 

When you buy a screened product, you can expect one size. Screened Type 1 concrete contains 40mm pieces of concrete. We collect the concrete from quarries around Wanstead. 

We recommend this product for contractors who want concrete floor screening. Type 1 crushed concrete can also go into building sub bases and bulk-fill tasks. 

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

If you are interested in 40mm screened concrete, you should consider 75mm screened concrete. These products are almost identical, except this product contains bigger pieces. 

Bigger pieces might be a good option for you if you have large concrete floor screening or bulk-fill tasks to complete.

What is a sub base?

Sub bases are strong, sturdy structures. They bear massive loads and ensure that weight is evenly displaced.

Most of the time, contractors make building bases and transport bases from crushed materials. They choose batches that contain big pieces and small pieces of hardcore materials. The different sizes slot together to create strong bases. 

No matter what kind of base you need, you should roll the materials. This forces the pieces to compact into a cohesive base. Once the materials have been set, you can start creating the structure that goes on top.

What structures need sub base?

Sub bases are an essential part of all kinds of construction structures. 

Bases go underneath these structures.

  • Patios
  • Buildings
  • Pavements
  • Motorways
  • Driveways
  • Roads

Do I need a product that has a high flow rate?

All crushed concrete products have a flow rate. The flow rate of a product tells us how fast liquids pass through it. The lower the flow rate, the slower the liquids pass through the batch. 

If you need to create a drainage system, you should consider screened products. Screened products have the highest flow rate of all the products that we sell. MOT Type 2 and Screened Type 1 crushed concrete have high flow rates. 

If you need to create a transport sub base, you should buy a product that contains big and small pieces. MOT Type 1 contains materials that range from dust to 40mm. It has a low flow rate, which is perfect for bases. 

How much does crushed concrete cost?

Lots of contractors ask about our crushed concrete prices. Concrete starts from £18 per ton. The price increases depending on which product you choose. Concrete that comes from quarries is more expensive than concrete that comes from demolition sites. 

As well as concrete, we also sell a number of other materials. Limestone and granite products tend to be more expensive than concrete. 

For a full breakdown of our costs, give us a call on 01992 635454. 

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Crushed concrete is a versatile material. It can go into drainage systems, sub bases, and bulk-fill tasks.

Rather than focusing on the material, you should think about the overall product. Concrete, granite, and aggregates go into all kinds of products. 

MOT Type 1 is the most popular primary building material that we sell. It contains pieces of limestone and granite that range from dust to 40mm. This product is perfect for transport bases. The big and small pieces slot together to create strong, long-lasting bases. 

MOT Type 2 also contains granite and limestone, but the pieces are only 40mm. It is perfect for drainage systems. These kinds of systems need products that have as few sizes as possible so that liquids can pass through. 

6F2 Recycled Aggregates contain pieces of concrete, brick, granite, and stone. We collect the materials from demolition sites and crush them down to 40mm. Any products that come from demolition sites are more affordable, which makes them perfect for bulk-fill tasks. 

Call 01992 635454 for more information about our materials.

Will crushed concrete compact?

Crushed materials can compact, but you have to put them under pressure. Limestone, granite, and concrete are hardcore materials. If you put them in a sub base, you have to roll them. This forces the materials into a cohesive slate that you can then build on. 

Hardcore materials will not compact in loose-fill construction projects. They need to be put under pressure to compact. 

Does crushed concrete drain?

Contractors in Wanstead contact us for materials that drain well. We specialise in screened materials that contain one size. Any product that falls under this category drains well. 

MOT Type 2 is ideal for contractors who want primary building materials that drain well. It only contains 40mm pieces of granite and limestone. Liquids can pass through the batch without coming up against small pieces of materials. Like MOT Type 2, other screened products also drain well.

Is crushed concrete dangerous?

Like any hardcore building material, crushed concrete can be dangerous. 

When you order concrete, limestone, or granite, you need to consider a few factors.

  • Weight – Hardcore materials are heavy, and even more so if you order multiple tons. To avoid strain, you should tell our drivers exactly where you want them to leave the materials. This minimises the need to handle heavy hardcore materials. 
  • Airborne particles – You must minimise the chance of concrete, limestone, and granite particles becoming airborne. When the particles enter the air, the chance of inhaling them increases. If the people on your sites do not wear masks, they could inhale the particles and develop lung issues.
  • Leachates – Limestone, granite, and concrete can cause leachates to form. Leachates occur when liquids absorb dangerous chemicals. Once the leachate has passed through crushed concrete, it can spread chemicals to other areas on your site. The easiest way to eliminate this possibility is to put pH controls in place.
