MOT Type 1 near me

MOT Type 1 sub bases have unbeatable load-bearing qualities. This product contains big and small pieces of limestone and granite. We source these primary building materials from quarries in Woodford Green. The pieces range from specs of dust to 40mm chunks. 

The different sizes slot together to create strong bases. Products that are called MOT are ideal for transport bases like roads and motorways.

Recycled Type 1 MOT

Recycled products are no less useful than products that contain primary building materials. We source the materials for Recycled Type 1 MOT from demolition sites in Woodford Green. Limestone, granite, concrete, and brick all make it into the final batch. The pieces range from dust to 40mm.

Although the materials come from demolition sites, the overall product is suitable for all the same construction tasks as regular Type 1. Recycled MOT Type 1 goes into transport sub bases all over Woodford Green. 

MOT Type 2 Clean

If you need to build a drainage system, MOT Type 2 is perfect. 

This product also contains limestone and granite, but the composition is more important than the materials. We collect the materials from quarries and grind them together to create a mixture of sizes. All the materials go into a big industrial net, which forces them to separate. We remove all the pieces that are smaller or larger than 40mm.

MOT Type 2 is perfect for drainage systems because it has a high flow rate. Any product that contains one size has a high flow rate. When you choose this product, you do not have to worry about your system clogging. 

6F5 and 6F2 Recycled Aggregates 75mm

This is another affordable product that is made from recycled materials. To create this product, we take aggregates from demolition sites around Woodford Green. It contains sand, stone, and brick. 

A single batch of our 6F2 Recycled Aggregates contains materials that range from dust to 75mm. The range of different sizes makes this product perfect for bulk-fill tasks. All the materials come from demolition sites, which means that the overall product is very affordable. 

Screened Crushed Concrete Type 1 40mm

Screened Type 1 Crushed Concrete is perfect for floors and drainage systems. 

This product contains 40mm pieces of crushed concrete. The concrete comes from quarries, which means that the quality is assured. We even test the materials before we send them out for delivery. 

Screened Crushed Concrete 75mm

75mm crushed concrete is also a good option for floors and drainage systems. If you have bigger concrete floor screening projects to complete, you should consider buying this product. 

For drainage systems, it does not always matter how big the chunks are. The important thing is that there is only one size in each batch. 75mm pieces of concrete fill more space than 40mm pieces, which means you can complete your project with fewer tons.

What is screening?

The term screening refers to a manufacturing process and a product. 

Before screening happens, we have to collect the materials. To create MOT Type 2 we collect limestone and granite from quarries. We put the materials in a crushing machine which grinds them into pieces that range from dust to 40mm. 

To screen the materials, we use a large industrial net. We throw all the different sizes into the net. Once the small pieces have fallen through, we throw them away. Screened products only contain one size.

What is a sub base and what kinds are there?

Sub bases are common construction site formations. As the name suggests, they go underneath formations. These bases take on a load-bearing function, and they also make sure that weight is evenly displaced. This is important for all formations, but especially those that carry a lot of weight every day. 

Our customers create two kinds of sub bases: building bases and transport bases. These different kinds of bases look similar. The main difference is the materials in each kind of base.

What does MOT stand for in MOT products?

At HH Muckers, we sell a range of MOT products. Whenever you see a product with the acronym MOT in the name, you know that it is suitable for transport bases. 

MOT stands for Ministry of Transport. This ministry oversaw transport networks in the UK. It is no longer active, but it lends its name to crushed materials that make good transport sub bases. MOT products have excellent load-bearing qualities, which makes them perfect for roads and motorways. 

It is important to remember that MOT products are versatile. MOT Type 2 is good for sub bases and drainage systems.

What formations need sub bases?

All sorts of formations benefit from sub bases. If you want to create a strong structure that stands the test of time, you need to lay a base underneath it. In fact, most building regulations demand bases.

Here are a few of the structures that benefit from bases. 

  • Buildings
  • Sheds
  • Patios 
  • Roads 
  • Driveways
  • Motorways

Is MOT Type 1 good for sub bases?

MOT Type 1 sub bases are common. Contractors in Woodford Green choose this product when they need to create strong transport bases. 

Type 1 contains primary building materials that come straight from quarries. Each batch contains materials that range from dust to 40mm. The big and small materials lock together to create a robust base. When the base has been set it can hold heavy loads. 

We recommend this product for everything from roads to motorways. 

Crushed concrete prices

‘How much is a load of crushed concrete?’ is one of the most common questions that customers ask us. We do not sell our materials by the truckload. Instead, we sell materials by the ton.

Materials that come from quarries are more expensive than materials that come from demolition sites. Recycled 6F2 contains materials that would otherwise be thrown away, which makes it a good affordable option.  

Our crushed concrete prices vary, but they start from £18 per ton. We sell lots of types of concrete and other materials. For a better insight into our prices, call 01992 635454. 

What can I use crushed concrete for?

Crushed concrete is one of the most popular materials that we sell, but it is not the only one. We also sell crushed aggregates, limestone, and granite. All these materials go into products that have different uses. 

  • Concrete – You can find concrete in a number of construction products. It is suitable for bases, drainage systems, and bulk-fill tasks. We take concrete from quarries and demolition sites. It is common for us to collect concrete from demolition sites, which is why we sell a lot of affordable concrete products. 
  • Limestone and granite – These primary building materials go into most MOT products and some recycled products. When limestone and granite come straight from quarries they are primary building materials. They have excellent load-bearing qualities, which makes them a great combination. Contractors in Woodford Green often buy limestone and granite when they need to create transport bases.
  • Aggregates – We source aggregates from demolition sites to create batches of 6F2 Recycled Aggregates. This product contains affordable materials, which makes it perfect for bulk-fill projects.

What does the term flow rate mean?

If you have created drainage systems in the past, you will have heard of this term. 

The flow rate of a product tells us the rate at which liquids pass through the materials. Every product that contains crushed materials has a flow rate. 

If a batch contains a number of materials, the flow rate will be lower. Liquids have to navigate through a lot of obstacles. Batches that contain a lot of small pieces present a big problem because they often clog the system. 

For drainage systems, we always recommend batches that contain one size. MOT Type 2 is a good candidate for this type of task because it is screened. Screened products always contain one size and always have a high flow rate. 

Do sub bases flatten over time?

Whether you use crushed concrete or MOT for your bases, you need to consider this. 

Sub bases are made to bear massive loads. Transport bases like motorways are put under immense pressure every day. Over time, these kinds of bases compact so much that they lose height. 

Contractors in Woodford Green have to work hard to ensure that their bases meet the right requirements. In some cases, contractors even have to add new layers to their bases every year.

Is crushed concrete harmful?

Concrete can be harmful, but so can the other hardcore materials that we sell. When these kinds of materials are on your site, it is important to take safety precautions. 

Here are the things that you need to think about when you order construction materials.

  • Dust – Dust is a big problem. When crushed concrete dust enters the air, there is a significant risk of inhaling it. Inhaling concrete dust can cause serious lung issues. The easiest way to prevent this is to ask everyone on your site to wear a mask. 
  • Weight – Hardcore materials are heavy. If labourers do not handle them in the right way, they could develop injuries. To avoid this problem, you should tell our drivers to drop the materials off exactly where you need them. 
  • Leachates – Leachates form when liquids pass through materials and absorb chemicals. Concrete contains a lot of alkalis, which means that the resulting leachates can be dangerous. We recommend putting pH controls in place to eliminate the chance of leachates developing.
