  • Aggregates

These materials go into all kinds of construction projects. They are popular choices for sub bases and drainage systems.

MOT Type 1 near me

Lots of contractors ask us, what is MOT Type 1?

It is a combination of limestone and granite. The materials in this batch come straight from quarries. Once we have the materials, we grind them together to make 40mm chunks. The materials in this batch can be as small as dust and as big as 40mm.

MOT Type 1 sub bases can hold building and transport formations. This product has excellent load-bearing qualities. It can handle patios, paths, and motorways. 

Recycled Type 1 MOT

This is the recycled version of regular MOT. We go to demolition sites around Wood Green to collect granite, concrete, brick, and limestone. This batch contains a range of strong, hardcore materials which makes it perfect for sub bases. The pieces in the batch range from debris to 40mm. 

Contractors choose Recycled Type 1 MOT when they need affordable alternatives. This product is perfect for sub bases.

MOT Type 2 Clean

MOT Type 2 is suitable for drainage systems. 

Our drivers go to quarries around Wood Green to collect limestone and granite. They put the materials in a crusher and then an industrial-sized net. All the small pieces fall through, and we are left with 40mm chunks. 

This batch only contains 40mm chunks. This is brilliant for drainage systems, which need materials that have a high flow rate. 

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

This is the go-to choice for contractors who need affordable bulk-fill materials. When it comes to bulk-fill tasks, contractors need strong aggregates. 

For this product, we go to demolition sites around Wood Green. We collect sand, stone, and slag and grind the pieces together. This batch contains materials that range from dust to 75mm.

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Screened products are very different. To screen a batch, we have to use a large net. We place the materials in the net and let the big and small pieces separate. Then, we throw away all the small pieces.

This product only contains 40mm pieces of concrete. Contractors buy this product when they want high-quality concrete floor screening. It is suitable for any number of flooring tasks.  

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

This product is almost identical to our 40mm screened crushed concrete.

The concrete in this batch also comes straight from quarries around Wood Green. Our drivers collect it, screen it, and batch it up for sale.  

Like all our materials, we only deliver orders of concrete floor screening that are over 8 tons. 

This product is perfect for flooring tasks.

What is MOT?

The acronym MOT refers to the Ministry of Transport, an old transport regulator in England. Even though the MOT is not active, its name holds weight. Any product that has MOT in the title is suitable for transport sub bases. 

Transport sub bases can be anything from roads to motorways. 

Even a thin, 4-inch layer of MOT can hold heavy structures. 

Do I need sub bases?

Strong formations are built on top of sub bases. True to its name, a sub base goes underneath a formation. It provides a basis for heavy formations.

Any product that has MOT in the name is made for transport bases. MOT Type 1 sub bases can hold all kinds of structures including driveways and motorways. 

Motorways, patios, and buildings need sub bases. It is not enough to create the structures. They must have a load-bearing layer. 

How do I create sub bases?

Bases are simple.

In most cases, contractors use crushed materials to create bases. Limestone and granite are popular choices because they are primary construction materials. 

Labourers roll the materials into a thin base. This process forces the materials to compact. The result is a strong, robust base. Bases can be as thin as 4 inches!

Crushed concrete prices

Contractors call us for transparent crushed concrete prices.

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Our materials are very versatile. 

Here are some of the ways that contractors in Wood Green use our materials.

  • Sub bases are an essential part of construction projects all over Wood Green. To create strong bases, contractors have to choose materials that have good load-bearing qualities. MOT Type 1 fits the bill. This product contains primary building materials that can hold the weight of transport structures. 
  • Drainage systems need materials that have high flow rates. The flow rate of a batch tells us how fast liquids can pass through it. MOT Type 2 and other screened products are suitable for this kind of task. They only contain one size, which means that liquids can pass through without a problem.
  • Bulk-fill tasks are common. Contractors usually have lots of bulk-fill tasks to complete, so affordable materials are popular. Our 6F2 Recycled Aggregates are perfect for this kind of task. They contain lots of different hardcore materials which come from demolition sites around Wood Green.

Will crushed concrete compact?

Yes! Crushed concrete, as well as any other crushed hardcore material, will compact under pressure. 

In most cases, our customers use concrete for sub bases. The process to create bases is simple, but it does require labourers to roll the materials. This forces the materials to compact into a solid, strong base.

Does crushed concrete drain?

Yes! 

All crushed batches drain to some extent. Concrete is just one of the materials that we sell, and we sell it in a few different variations. 

MOT Type 1 hardcore contains big and small materials. Screened batches such as MOT Type 2 only contain one size, which means that they drain much quicker.

If materials drain quick, they have a high flow rate. If materials drain slow, they have a low flow rate.

Is MOT Type 2 finer than MOT Type 1?

No, this is a common misconception. 

MOT Type 1 is finer than MOT Type 2. Type 1 contains materials that range from dust to 40mm. 

Type 2 is a screened product which only contains one size. It is not suitable for people who need fine materials.

Will crushed concrete harden?

Crushed concrete will harden, but it will never be as hard or as smooth as ready mix concrete.

What are my delivery options?

Our delivery drivers are very experienced. They can move around any kind of construction site. As long as you have a wide entrance, we can deliver your materials. 

We only deliver orders that are over 8 tons. If you want to order under 8 tons of materials, you will have to pick them up.

Our customers can choose a delivery date and time slot. Definite time slots help contractors meet their deadlines.

Is crushed concrete dangerous?

When contractors are working with hardcore materials, they need to consider safety precautions. Like any hardcore material, concrete can be toxic. 

Here are some of the dangers of crushed concrete. 

  • Liquids pass through concrete and become leachates. Leachates are liquids that absorb chemicals. Concrete has a high level of alkalis, which means that it creates dangerous leachates. One of the ways to avoid this is to put pH controls in place. 
  • Concrete particles usually become airborne during the sourcing process. Despite this, they can still become airborne on your site. The chance of inhaling concrete particles is never zero. To reduce the risk of lung issues, labourers should always wear masks. 

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

We are happy to give safety advice to our customers. No matter what type of product you have chosen, safety is important. 

Our representatives can give you advice about any stage of the process. They can talk about our sourcing and testing procedures or even give you advice about on-site safety.
