Pothole Repairs
1 / 6 · Cut back the edges
Pothole repairs in Birmingham, the Midlands and nationwide
We offer a rapid pothole repair call-out nationwide. Potholes are cut back, cleaned and filled with industry-standard materials, then compacted and sealed so the repair holds up to traffic.
A pothole is more than an untidy patch of road. Broken edges and loose material can make access difficult for vehicles and pedestrians, while water entering the damaged surface can contribute to further deterioration. Repairing the affected area helps restore a more even surface without resurfacing the whole site unnecessarily.
H. Evans Road Contractors Ltd provides nationwide pothole repairs for roads, car parks, farm access routes, retail parks and commercial premises. Whether you have one isolated defect or several damaged areas, a site visit helps establish the extent of the work and whether local repairs are the right approach. The proposed repairs are described in your written quotation.
Suitable for
- Roads
- Car parks

From preparation to finish
How we complete pothole repairs
- 1
Cut back the edges
We cut back the damaged surface to create defined edges for the repair.
2Remove damaged material
The broken asphalt is lifted out and loose material is cleared from the repair area.
3Apply the bonding coat
A bonding coat is applied to the prepared area to help the new material adhere to the existing surface.
4Lay and level the tarmac
Fresh tarmac is placed and spread evenly, ready for compaction.
5Compact the repair
The tarmac is compacted to form a firm repair that meets the surrounding road surface.
6Seal the edges
The joints are sealed to help protect the repair edges against water entering.
What the repair involves
Cut back to sound edges
The damaged area is cut back to form a defined repair, rather than simply covering the hole. The condition of the surrounding surface matters: crumbling edges may mean the repair needs to extend beyond the most obvious damage.
Clean, fill and compact
Loose material is removed and the prepared area is filled with industry-standard material. Compaction is an important part of forming a firm repair that meets the surrounding surface.
Seal the repair edges
The edges are sealed as part of the repair. At the site visit, we can also discuss nearby defects so the quotation reflects the areas you want addressed, rather than leaving the scope unclear.
Planning repairs around site access
Tell us which entrances, parking spaces or delivery routes need to remain available, and whether there are busy periods we should know about. We aim to minimise disruption, but access arrangements and the time needed before traffic returns depend on the repair and the site conditions. These should be agreed before work starts.
Risk Assessments and Method Statements supplied before work starts.
What to send with your enquiry
Include the site address, the approximate number of potholes and photos showing both the damage and the wider area. Let us know if the surface is breaking up around the holes, if water collects there, or if the area carries heavy vehicles. Photos help explain the job but do not replace the site visit.
You can attach up to five site photos when requesting your free quotation.
