MOT aggregate

What is 6F2 crushed brick aggregate?

The classification 6F2 refers to an aggregate that is made up of crushed concrete, brick, and ceramics. Typically, this type of crushed brick aggregate is a by-product gathered from demolition sites.

Put simply, recycled aggregates are leftover granular materials from site clearances – such as sand, concrete, gravel, brick, and stone – that can be reused as a coarse construction material.

To create crushed brick aggregate, we crush this demolition waste into a graded mix. The pieces can range in size from 75mm to 125mm for load-bearing layers to compactable dust (0mm) for filling voids.

One of the reasons why 6F2 crushed brick is so popular is that it provides an initial layer of hardcore that can be topped off with a MOT Type 1 sub-base (which Grundy & Co also supplies!).

 

Crushed Brick for Landscaping & More

Stronger than coarse sand, crushed brick is an environmentally friendly and affordable alternative to quarried brick products. Ideal for building renovation projects, it’s also suitable for use as a sub-brick base in the layers of asphalt roads (when topped with MOT Type 1).

Recycled crushed bricks offer a convenient and cost-efficient foundation or bulk fill solution for building up surface levels, making 6F2 capping materials the perfect option for a wide variety of projects.

Benefits of using recycled brick aggregate:

Previously, these materials would have been taken from a demolition or construction site and dumped at a landfill. However, crushed bricks can be recycled and reused, helping the construction industry to become more environmentally conscious than ever before.

Here are just a few of the ways that using recycled crushed brick could benefit your project:

Cost-effective – You’re purchasing a recycled material that is less expensive to manufacture, which means it’s also cheaper to buy than new quarried materials.

Environmentally friendly – Crushed brick aggregate is a sustainable alternative to more harmful construction products, helping to reduce your carbon footprint.

Durable – Designed to withstand the test of time, robust crushed bricks from site clearances are just as strong and reliable as non-recycled aggregates.

Flexible – Recycled aggregate bricks are suitable for a wide range of applications, including roads, landscaping, flat roofing, and various construction types.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Please find below a list of frequently asked questions from our customers

    How much does crushed brick cost?

    Crushed brick is typically comprised of concrete and broken asphalt, which means it’s a cheaper and more environmentally-friendly solution than buying brand-new materials.

    This type of recycled aggregate is generally budget-friendly, but the crushed brick price per tonne in the UK can vary. The cost of crushed bricks depends on factors like the location, the grade, and the volume – such as smaller bulk bags or larger loose load deliveries or collections.

    Much like anything else, the more aggregate material you need, the more you can expect to pay. However, at Grundy & Co, we guarantee some of the most competitive prices.

    As a leading supplier of 6F2 crushed brick, we provide aggregates in bulk, so why not get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote for a bulk load of crushed bricks?

    What can crushed brick aggregate be used for?

    Crushed brick is considered an environmentally-friendly material for virtually any construction or landscaping project that requires a stable, durable material for foundation layers or backfilling.

    In concrete projects, crushed brick can be used to reduce the amount of concrete that’s required to complete the job, reducing the cost and environmental impact. On top of this, it can add strength and visual appeal to an otherwise plain concrete finish.

    Crushed brick aggregate is also an excellent alternative to wood chips for ground cover around trees, bushes, and flowerbeds. Not only is it a longer-lasting material than wood, but it also offers a more durable solution to weed control in these areas.

    This recycled aggregate is often recommended by builders and contractors for walkways and driveways, too – especially where tarmacked surfaces could create excessive heat.

    A perhaps more surprising use of this eco-friendly material is on flat roofs. Rather than pea stone, many installers opt for crushed brick to add weight to rubber roofing. The aggregate allows for efficient drainage, and its density ensures stability in high winds.

    How soon can you deliver crushed brick to my site?

    This depends on your location and how much crushed brick aggregate you need for your project.

    Of course, the further our fleet has to travel and the larger the quantity of crushed brick we have to transport, the longer it will take for us to deliver crushed brick aggregate to your site.

    At Grundy & Co, we do everything we can to deliver recycled aggregates as quickly as possible using our tipper trucks. However, we advise our customers to give us at least 48 hours’ notice, if possible. This is to ensure availability and allow our team to load the truck safely and efficiently.

    In some cases, we may be able to deliver crushed brick within 24 hours, but this is something you’ll need to discuss with our team at the earliest opportunity to check availability.

    Why should I choose recycled crushed brick from Grundy & Co?

    Here at Grundy & Co, we pride ourselves on offering the most eco-friendly aggregates for all manner of building projects. We’re leaders in our local market, so whether you search for ‘6F2 near me’ or ‘crushed brick suppliers near me’, we’re sure to show up!

    Our 6F2 crushed brick is typically collected from demolition sites, which means it’s cheaper to buy than raw materials. By using our crushed brick aggregates, not only are we helping you to keep your costs low, but we’re also helping to reduce your project’s carbon footprint.

    When brick structures are demolished, this creates untold amounts of used, unwanted, and often damaged bricks. Instead of transporting these to a landfill site, we crush them into smaller chips, allowing them to be repurposed for construction or landscaping jobs in the future.

    At Grundy & Co, we regularly deliver crushed brick in bulk to clients across Merseyside and Cheshire.

    So, if you need crushed brick or any other type of recycled aggregate for your next project, and you’re in our delivery area, be sure to get in touch with us today!
