Road Repairs for Councils, Contractors and Private Clients

Harrington Brothers Contractors carry out road repairs across Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and London for local authorities, facilities managers, schools and main contractors, as well as owners of private and unadopted roads.

We work efficiently and professionally on residential and commercial areas alike, and our team can take on any size of project: we’ve repaired private roads for private companies, and repaired potholes and public pathways for councils including Barnet, Hertsmere, Tower Hamlets and Brentwood.

Our commercial client list includes Balfour Beatty, Mears and Railtrack.

No two defects are the same.

A failed carriageway edge, a sunken reinstatement, a stretch of private road that has broken up over successive winters, each one gets assessed for its cause before we specify the fix, so the repair lasts rather than reappearing on next year’s maintenance schedule.

If you’re weighing up whether a surface needs attention yet, our guide to the signs a road surface needs repair sets out what to look for.

For localised defects, see our dedicated pothole repairs and tarmac patching service.

Road Resurfacing, Construction and Maintenance

Our range covers all aspects of road maintenance: full road construction, road resurfacing, pothole repair, patching, footpath and pathway reconstruction, and surface sealing. Where a carriageway has failed beyond economic patching, we excavate, rebuild the sub-base and lay fresh machine laid tarmacadam to a consistent, durable finish.

  • Carriageway resurfacing and overlay works
  • New road construction, including sub-base and drainage preparation
  • Pothole repair and tarmac patching
  • Footpath and public pathway reconstruction
  • Surface sealing and preventative maintenance
  • Driveway sealing and driveway repair on the residential side

Because we run our own plant and machinery, we control the programme from excavation to final roll: no waiting on third party hire, no gaps between trades.

Line markings disturbed by the works are reinstated through our thermoplastic line marking service, so the road is handed back complete.

At Harrington Brothers we place great pride in the standard of customer service behind the surfacing too: one point of contact, honest advice on repair versus resurface, and a written quotation that holds.

We focus on each individual client’s requirements and schedules to provide a discreet, unobtrusive service.

Accredited, Insured and Procurement Ready

Procurement teams need certain things on file before a contractor sets foot on the highway, and ours are ready to send.

Harrington Brothers hold SafeContractor, CHAS and Constructionline accreditations, plus RISQS and CIRAS for rail environment works, and carry £10 million public liability insurance.

All works are fully guaranteed, and finance options including 0% APR are available on eligible works.

That paperwork is backed by a track record: 90% of our work comes from recommendations and referrals, and our council experience spans tennis court installations, footpath reconstruction, marking bays in car parks, playground resurfacing, and patching and repairing existing infrastructure, the full scope of our local authority contracting service. We’re happy to supply accreditation certificates, insurance documents and references at tender stage.

Road Repairs Scheduled Around Your Network, Not Ours

Road works are disruptive by nature, so we plan ours to keep that disruption to a minimum.

We schedule around your timescales, phase works to keep routes live where possible, and arrive with the right plant to get in, repair and reopen quickly.

It’s the same discreet approach we bring to every commercial project, from a residential estate road in Brentwood to a public highway in London.

We cover Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and London, with much of our road repair work concentrated around Chelmsford, Epping and Brentwood. For more information on the range of road repair services we offer, get in contact with one of our friendly advisors today, and we’ll be happy to help, whatever the size of the job.

Frequently asked questions

What accreditations do you hold for highway and road repair works?

We hold SafeContractor, CHAS and Constructionline accreditations, and RISQS and CIRAS for works in rail environments. Certificates can be supplied at tender or pre-qualification stage.

What insurance cover do you carry?

Harrington Brothers Contractors carry £10 million public liability insurance, and all road repair works are fully guaranteed. Insurance documentation is available on request for your procurement records.

Can you work around traffic and access requirements?

Yes. We schedule works to fit your timescales and phase repairs to keep routes live wherever possible. Because we run our own plant, we can mobilise quickly and hand roads back sooner.

Do you repair private and unadopted roads as well as public highways?

We do. Alongside our council work for Barnet, Hertsmere, Tower Hamlets and Brentwood, we regularly repair and resurface private roads, estate roads and access routes for businesses and residents' associations.

Do you reinstate line markings after a repair?

Yes, any road markings disturbed by the works are reinstated using durable thermoplastic materials as part of the same contract, so the surface is returned safe, compliant and complete.

How big or small a project will you take on?

Any size. Our team has patched single defects for parish councils and delivered full carriageway reconstruction for main contractors. 90% of our work comes from recommendations, so every job, large or small, is done to the same standard.
