Asphalt and surface repair
Asphalt repair materials let you fix potholes, cracks and damaged surfaces on driveways, car parks, roads and hard standings quickly and permanently, often with nothing more than a shovel and a means of compaction. Cold-lay products need no heating and no specialist plant, so a pothole can be filled and put back into service the same day.
For facilities managers, contractors and site teams, a reliable asphalt repair keeps surfaces safe, reduces trip and vehicle hazards, and avoids the cost and disruption of a full resurface.
What asphalt repair covers
Surface repair ranges from filling individual potholes and reinstating trench cuts to patching worn areas of tarmac and sealing cracks before they spread. Cold-lay asphalt is supplied ready to use, is workable straight from the tub or bag, and compacts down to a durable, trafficable finish that stands up to foot and vehicle loads.
Where asphalt repair is used
- Pothole repair on roads, drives and access ways
- Car park and yard surface patching
- Reinstatement of trench and utility cuts
- Repairs around gullies, manholes and ironwork
- Edge and crack repair before deterioration spreads
Choosing the right repair
The right product depends on the depth of the defect, the traffic it will carry and how fast the area needs to reopen. Cold-lay asphalt suits fast, permanent pothole and patch repairs. For joints, bedding and finer finishing around paving and ironwork, a flowable jointing grout or a rapid-set mortar may be the better tool. Our team can match the product to the job.
FAQs
Does cold-lay asphalt repair last? Yes. Applied and compacted correctly, cold-lay asphalt gives a permanent repair rather than a temporary patch.
Do you need to heat cold-lay asphalt? No. It is supplied ready to use and is laid and compacted cold, with no burners or hot boxes needed.
How soon can you drive on an asphalt repair? Most cold-lay repairs can take traffic almost immediately after compaction, which is why they suit live car parks and roads.
How deep should a pothole repair be? Clean out loose material to a sound base, then fill and compact in layers. Deeper defects are built up in stages for the most durable result.
