The end of the road for pesky pothole problems

 

Potholes are created by constant traffic and from frozen water thawing while it's in the ground, breaking up the surrounding concrete. Make sure to repair potholes in time, to avoid unnecessary accidents and damage that could cost you in the long run. Fix them quickly and simply with our industry-leading Bitu-Mend range. Poured straight from the tub, our specialist formulations are durable enough to withstand instant traffic, making your car parks and roads safe, while easily repairing trip hazards on external paths. 



Prevent damage to vehicles

If you hit a pothole at high speeds, you run the risk of damaging multiple parts of your vehicle, including the suspension, tyres and other internal components.

 

Minimise the risk of accidents

Potholes are a serious trip hazard for pedestrians. In the last five years, councils in England and Wales settled 5,596 personal injury claims, with claimants getting an average of £5,746.

Maintain your site's professional look

Not only are potholes an eyesore, but they may reduce the value of your business, both in resale value and customer traffic.




Why potholes form

Water from melting snow and ice seeps into the road and softens it.

During repeated cold spells, the water in the road refreezes and expands, breaking up the road, on and below the surface.

When the ice melts, it leaves gaps inside the road, and the moisture further softens it.

The soft, fractured asphalt cannot support the weight of passing vehicles and begins to break up, creating the hole in the road.


How to fix them with our easy-to-use Bitu-Mend Pothole Repair range

One for the road... path and car park

Highly durable, Bitu-Mend pothole repair requires no mixing before application, making it very easy to use. Exterior asphalt and concrete areas like roads, car parks and paths can all benefit from our bitumen-based patch repair material. Able to fill holes 100mm deep, our specialist formula compacts into a dense, hard surface, allowing it to withstand heavy traffic and be driven over immediately.

Bitu-Mend

Step 1 - Prime

Sweep away any debris out of the pothole before pouring the primer that comes with Bitu-Mend Pothole Repair inside. Using a brush, cover the entire base of the hole with the primer to ensure a strong fix.

Step 2 - Pour

Once primed, simply fill the pothole with our specialist aggregate. Bitu-Mend Pothole repair can be placed with a shovel or you can even pour a sufficient amount straight from the tub.

Step 3 - Pack

Using a Tamper, pack the material down to compact it into the hole and ensure a smooth finish that is durable enough to withstand instant traffic.
