Cranford Pothole Repairs

They are commonly caused by the shape of the underlying ground. After the road surfacing has been laid, it will soak up rain. When temperatures drop below zero the water freezes and expands causing damage to the surface. When thawed, it will cause the surface to break in a way that matches the underlying shape of the ground therefore creating a pothole.

Patching is the process of filling potholes or excavated areas in the road surface. Quick repair of potholes helps control further deterioration and expensive resurfacing repairs.

Repairing a pothole prevents further damage. Water is the root cause of nearly all potholes. Existing potholes let more water get in under the sub-surface and repairing a pothole now will prevent the formation of larger potholes and further damage down the line.

Since most potholes in the UK are caused by water damage, the vast amount of extreme UK weather in recent years has led to more road damage. This is combined with the regular increase in the number of vehicles on the roads, adding to the surface wear and tear.

Potholes will often return if they are not repaired correctly. This is why City Surfacing Ltd makes sure we carry out the full 4 step process for all pot hole filling work in the UK.
