The name says it all. Crushed concrete is old concrete, broken out or recovered from demolition, then crushed and screened until it becomes a usable aggregate. Being angular and hard, it compacts well – so for a lot of groundworks it is both a sustainable option and one that keeps costs down.
Skips Manchester arranges crushed concrete delivery throughout Manchester and nearby areas. Where available it comes in bulk bags or on a tipper, with supply depending on confirmation for your postcode.
In our range it sits next to recycled Type 1. There is some overlap between the two, so explain what the material is for and we will advise which product suits best. Pass us your requirements and we will check availability near you, so that before you commit you know exactly what can be delivered.
Common uses
- Raising ground levels and general fill
- Site access and temporary haul roads
- Hardstandings for site compounds, yards and storage areas
- Backfill for foundations and trenches, where specified
- Sub-base beneath industrial and agricultural surfaces
Recycled material is not uniform in colour, so look elsewhere if you want a decorative finish or the surface will be on show. On adopted or structural works, the project specification must always be followed. Gateways and farm tracks that turn to mud in wet weather are another popular use for crushed concrete. Single-size and graded products may both be on offer, so check with us which grades are available.
A circular option for Manchester projects
Each load of crushed concrete is demolition material that stays in use instead of going to landfill. Redevelopment and regeneration continue right across the city, from Salford Quays and the city centre to east Manchester and Trafford Park, which keeps a regular flow of material coming through for recycling.
Is your own project generating broken concrete? Our concrete removal service can take it away to be recycled, and where sub-base or fill is required, crushed concrete can come back in. Less freshly quarried stone is needed as a result.
How to order crushed concrete
Tell us the depth, the area you need to cover and what the finished surface is for. Photos of the access or a site plan make it easier for us to pick the drop point and the right vehicle.
Bulk bags may be an option on smaller jobs, while big areas are normally tipped loose. Call 0333 121 1056 or send your requirements via the contact page. On a cramped site, think carefully about where the load goes so that the heap does not obstruct deliveries or other trades.
Well suited to
- General fill
- Hardstandings
- Yards
- Site compounds
- Haul roads
- Backfilling trenches
Crushed Concrete – your questions answered
Can’t see your question? Call 0333 121 1056 or send us a message.
Are crushed concrete and recycled Type 1 the same thing?
There is overlap. Crushed concrete comes in a number of grades, whereas recycled Type 1 is a graded sub-base material that can contain stone, brick and crushed concrete. Explain what you need it for and we will confirm the correct product.
Can I use crushed concrete under a driveway?
Yes, it is a common sub-base as long as it is properly compacted and suitably graded. Follow your installer’s specification if there is one. Sinking and rutting are far less likely over a well-compacted base.
Is there steel in crushed concrete?
Processing normally takes out the reinforcement. Now and then small traces are left behind, which is why we do not recommend it where looks matter. For a cleaner finish, virgin or decorative stone is the better choice.
Can I get crushed concrete anywhere in Manchester?
It depends on the supplier, so we confirm supply for your postcode each time. Send us the details and we will check availability near you. Stock can also go up and down from one week to the next.
