What Causes Potholes?

Potholes form due to a combination of traffic wear, weather conditions, and underlying surface issues.

Common causes include:

• Freeze/Thaw Cycles: Water penetrates small cracks in the surface, freezes, and expands, leading to further cracking.
• Heavy Traffic: Constant pressure from vehicles weakens the road surface over time.
• Poor Drainage: Inadequate drainage allows water to pool, increasing the risk of surface damage.
• Substandard Materials: Low quality materials or poor initial installation can accelerate surface deterioration.

Regular maintenance and timely pothole repairs are essential to prevent further damage and maintain the safety and usability of roads, car parks, and footpaths.

Comprehensive Pothole Repairs in Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, and London

Our pot hole repair services are designed to meet the needs of a variety of surfaces, including:

Road Repairs

We specialize in tarmac patching and pothole repairs for roads in urban and rural areas. Using 10mm DBM (Dense Bituminous Macadam) and hot roll tarmac amongst other materials, we ensure a seamless finish that blends with the surrounding surface.

The Process:

1. Assessment: We evaluate the extent of damage to determine the most effective repair solution.
2. Preparation: The damaged area is cut out, excavated and cleaned to ensure a solid bond for the new material.
3. Application: We install high quality tarmac for a smooth and durable finish.
4. Edge Sealing: Using Colas cold paint, we seal the edges to prevent water ingress and extend the life of the repair.
5. Line Marking Replacement: Any damaged or faded line markings are restored for a professional and functional finish.

Car Park Repairs

Car parks see constant traffic, making them prone to potholes and surface wear. Our car park tarmac repairs ensure safety for both vehicles and pedestrians while maintaining a professional appearance.

Materials and Techniques:

• 10mm DBM: Ideal for car parks, offering durability and smoothness.
• 6mm DBM: Ideal for footpaths and walkways.
• Thermoplastic Line Marking: We replace any affected lines, such as parking bays and directional arrows, to ensure clarity and compliance.

Footpath Repairs

Damaged footpaths can be hazardous to pedestrians and cyclists. Our footpath repairs use 6mm DBM, providing a smooth, slip-resistant surface that ensures safety and durability.

Why Choose 6mm DBM for Footpaths?

• Fine Texture: Offers a smoother finish, ideal for pedestrian use.
• Durability: Resistant to cracking and wear from foot traffic and bicycles.
• Quick Installation: Ensures minimal disruption to public spaces.

3. Permanent Repair: Follow up with hot lay tarmac for a long lasting solution.

Advanced Techniques for Tarmac Patching

Benefits of Tarmac Patching:

• Cost-Effective: Repair specific areas without the need for full resurfacing.
• Quick Turnaround: Repairs can often be completed within hours.
