Our speciality

Potholes fixed properly.

Potholes are more than an eyesore. They damage vehicles, cause trips and falls, and spread fast once water gets in. A quick throw-and-roll fill only buys time. We cut out, bond and seal every repair so it performs like the surface around it.

Square-cut into sound material, to a consistent depth

Cleaned out, then bond coated on the base and edges

Hot asphalt laid and compacted in layers

Joints sealed so water can't get back in

Every repair backed by our 10-year guarantee

From a single pothole on a driveway to full patching programmes for councils, car parks, estates and farms. We match the material to the job and always quote at the best price.

How we work

From survey to sign‑off

Every job follows the same route. We plan it properly, prepare it properly and lay it properly, so it lasts.

Book a free site survey
01

Free site survey

We visit, assess the condition, traffic, drainage and access, and find out why the surface is failing.

02

Clear quotation

You get a written quote with the recommended treatment, materials and programme, with no hidden extras.

03

Planning & permits

We arrange traffic management, Street Works notices and utility checks, and let neighbours or tenants know.

04

Preparation

Planing, patching, drainage, kerbs and ironwork are put right first, because a surface is only as good as what's under it.

05

Laying & quality checks

Laid at the right temperature, compacted properly, with joints sealed against water.

06

Finish & handover

Lining, sweeping and a full tidy-up, then guarantee details and maintenance advice.

Questions, answered

Can't see your question? Give us a call. Our estimates and advice are always free.

How long will a pothole repair last?

A properly cut, bonded and sealed repair should perform like the surface around it, and our pothole repairs are guaranteed for 10 years.

Do you charge for quotes?

No. Our estimates and advice are completely free, and there's no obligation.

Should I patch or resurface?

If the damage is isolated, patching is the economical choice. If cracking and potholes are spread across the area, resurfacing or surface dressing usually gives better value over time. We'll advise honestly when we survey.

Can you repair potholes in wet or cold weather?

We can make defects safe in most conditions. Permanent hot repairs need a dry, prepared hole, so we programme those for the right weather.

Tarmac or asphalt — what's the difference?

"Tarmac" is the everyday name. Modern surfaces are asphalt bound with bitumen, and we specify the mix to suit how the surface will be used.

When can we drive on a new surface?

Usually within a few hours, once it has cooled. Avoid tight turns on the spot during the first few hot days.

Can our business stay open during the works?

Usually, yes. We phase work around your busiest times and keep access open wherever possible.

Do you work on public roads?

Yes. We've worked as contractors to several local authorities, and our teams hold Street Works (NRSWA) qualifications.
