Tarmac Repairs & Re‑Surfacing
When asphalt starts to crack, ravel or pothole, timely tarmac repairs and re‑surfacing restore safety and protect your asset from accelerated deterioration. JC Surfacing delivers reactive patching, planned inlays and full‑width overlays for highways, estates, commercial sites and private roads. Our goal is durable, neat repairs completed with minimal disruption and clear communication.
Repair Options
- Patching – Cut out defects, replace binder/surface courses and seal joints to stop water ingress.
- Inlays – Plane worn layers to a controlled depth and reinstate with new asphalt for a flush finish.
- Overlays – Add a new surface course to extend life and improve ride quality where levels allow.
- Crack Sealing – Hot‑applied sealants prevent small cracks becoming potholes.
- Reconstruction – Full‑depth replacement where the base has failed.
Our Process
- Assessment – We inspect defects, identify root causes (water, loading, age) and select the right method.
- Preparation – Saw‑cutting or planing creates clean edges; bond coats improve adhesion.
- Reinstatement – Hot asphalt is placed and compacted to specification with calibrated rollers.
- Finishing – Joints are sealed, surfaces swept and markings reinstated.
- Handover – Safe, tidy reopening with clear aftercare.
Materials & Specification
We select asphalt mixes for traffic loading, skid resistance and climate performance. Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) is used for high‑skid areas; dense‑graded or polymer‑modified binders may be specified for durability. Warm‑mix options shorten closures and reduce carbon.
Where We Work
- Public highways and estate roads
- Retail and business park car parks
- Industrial yards and loading bays
- Private roads and residential developments
- Schools, hospitals and public spaces
Planned vs Reactive Repairs
Reactive works make hazards safe quickly. Planned programmes deliver better value by grouping repairs, coordinating with surface dressing or overlays and reducing repeated traffic management costs. We’ll advise the most economical approach for your site.
Drainage & Ironwork
Long‑lasting repairs rely on good drainage. We adjust levels, clear gullies and reset ironwork where necessary to prevent ponding and edge breakdown.
Case Studies
Supermarket Car Park – Nottingham
Night inlays reinstated rutted lanes and bus stops. Markings were replaced before morning opening with zero customer complaints.
Industrial Yard Patching – Derbyshire
Cut‑and‑patch repairs in HGV turning areas used heavy‑duty mixes and sealed joints to withstand point loading.
Estate Roads – Newark
Crack sealing and targeted overlays extended life ahead of a future surface dressing programme, saving budget.
