Pothole Repairs

Local Pothole Repairs Nationwide

A pothole is what happens when water gets through a cracked surface, softens the layers beneath and freezes. Traffic breaks the weakened area apart, and each wet winter makes the hole wider and deeper. Left alone, one pothole damages tyres and suspension, becomes a trip hazard for pedestrians and starts to break up the surface around it.

We repair potholes on car parks, private roads, industrial estates and business premises across the Midlands, and travel nationwide for larger programmes. A single hole and a full site of them are handled the same way: cut back to sound material, bonded, filled with hot material and sealed.

Where potholes are appearing across an area rather than in one or two places, the problem is usually the surface as a whole. We will tell you if patching is still good value or if a planed and relaid section would cost less over time.

    Single repairs and site-wide programmes get the same method, and larger jobs can be phased so your car park or road stays open.

  • Straight advice on patching

How the job runs

How we repair a pothole

  • 1

    Step 01

    Assess the damage

    We look at each pothole and the surface around it, checking depth and whether the base has failed, so you only pay for the work each one needs.

  • 2

    Step 02

    Cut and clear

    The hole is saw cut into a regular shape back to firm tarmac, then loose stone, water and debris are removed down to a solid base.

  • 3

    Step 03

    Bond and fill

    A bond coat goes on the base and cut faces, then hot material is laid in compacted layers until it sits flush with the surrounding surface.

  • 4

    Step 04

    Seal the joints

    The joint between old and new is sealed so rainwater cannot seep in and start the same cycle of freezing and breaking up again.

Pricing

What affects the cost of pothole repairs

Pothole repairs are priced on what we find at the survey, which is free. The number and size of the holes matter, but so does what lies underneath.

  • 01

    Number and size

    Several repairs on one visit cost less each than a single call-out, and larger holes need more cutting, material and compaction.

  • 02

    Depth of failure

    A shallow surface pothole is quicker to fix than one where the base beneath has broken up and must be dug out first.

  • 03

    Grouped or scattered

    Potholes close together are often best planed out and relaid as one area, which can cost less than many separate patches.

  • 04

    Traffic and timing

    Repairs on busy entrances or at set times, such as outside opening hours, may need phasing or traffic management that affects the price.

FAQs

Pothole repair questions

Is a cold lay repair good enough for a pothole?

Cold lay material is useful as a temporary fix to make a hole safe, but it rarely lasts because it is not bonded to the surrounding surface and water soon gets under it. A permanent repair is cut back, bonded, filled with hot material and sealed. We recommend permanent repairs and will say if a temporary one is needed first.

Who is responsible for potholes on a private road or car park?

On private land, the landowner or whoever manages the site is normally responsible, which may be a business, a management company or residents jointly. Potholes on an adopted public road are the highway authority's responsibility. If you are unsure whether your road is adopted, the local council can confirm it.

Why do potholes keep coming back in the same place?

Usually because the previous repair was never sealed at the edges, or because the base underneath has failed and the patch has nothing firm to sit on. Water gets back in, frost lifts the patch and the hole reopens. We check the base before filling and seal the joint so the repair holds.

Can you repair potholes while our car park stays open?

In most cases, yes. We cone off the areas being repaired and work through the site in sections, so the rest of the car park stays usable. For busy sites we can agree a sequence and working times with you in advance, so parking and deliveries carry on around us.

What should I do about a dangerous pothole before it is repaired?

Make it visible and keep people away from it. Cone or barrier the area, and on a car park close the affected bays if you can. Then call 0121 6738596 and tell us it is a hazard, giving its location and rough size, so we can arrange a survey and repair.
