Repairs include pothole filling, crack sealing, resurfacing, tarmac and concrete repairs, paving repairs, and bollard replacements.
Potholes are typically repaired using hot asphalt patching, depending on the severity and location of the damage. Cold asphalt can be used also as a temporary fix.
If the surface has widespread cracking, deterioration, or multiple potholes, resurfacing is often more cost-effective than repeated patching.
Cracks are caused by foundation issues or movement, freeze-thaw cycles, heavy traffic, water ingress, tree roots, and general wear over time.
Yes, minor damage can be fixed using patch repairs, crack sealing, or resurfacing overlays to restore strength and appearance.
Small repairs like pothole filling take a few hours, while resurfacing large areas can take several days, including curing time.
Most minor repairs do not need permission, but large resurfacing projects may require consultation with the local council, especially in conservation areas.
Regular inspections, prompt repairs, drainage maintenance, and protective coatings help extend the lifespan of surfaces.
Repairs are best carried out in dry, mild weather, as extreme cold or wet conditions can affect materials like tarmac and concrete.
What types of line marking are there? – Line marking options include thermoplastic, paint, MMA resin, cold plastic, and pre-formed markings, each suited to different applications like car parks, roads, and pedestrian areas. Durable solutions like thermoplastic or MMA are ideal for high-traffic areas, while paint and temporary markings are cost-effective for short-term or low-traffic use. When selecting a method, consider traffic load, surface type, weather conditions, and budget to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Common surfaces include tarmac, concrete, block paving, and warehouse floors, with different paints and techniques suited to each.
Thermoplastic, epoxy, acrylic, and chlorinated rubber-based paints are commonly used, depending on durability and surface type.
Drying times vary, but thermoplastic markings set within minutes, while paint-based markings usually dry within 30 minutes to an hour.
Lifespan depends on traffic levels and material used. Thermoplastic markings last 3–5 years, while painted lines may need refreshing every 1–3 years.
Partial closures may be needed, but quick-drying materials and phased work can minimise disruption.
Yes, depending on the type of line marking used, they can be removed by: burning, grinding, hydro blasting, or through chemical treatments.
Certain markings, like disabled bays, pedestrian crossings, and hazard zones, must comply with UK safety and accessibility regulations.
Dry weather with moderate temperatures is ideal, as rain and extreme cold can affect adhesion and drying times.
Regular cleaning, inspection, and repair of drainage systems to prevent blockages, flooding, and structural damage to property.
It depends on usage, but most commercial and industrial drains should be cleaned at least once or twice a year to prevent build-up.
Slow drainage, bad odours, gurgling sounds, water pooling, and overflowing gullies indicate a potential blockage.
High-pressure jetting, rodding, and vacuum suction are commonly used to remove debris, grease, and sediment build-up.
Options include drain relining, patch repairs, or full excavation and replacement, depending on the severity of damage.
Yes, tree roots can infiltrate pipes, causing blockages and structural damage, often requiring root cutting and drain relining.
Regular gully cleaning, debris removal, and inspections to identify issues early and prevent costly repairs.
Covers are reset, replaced, or reinforced to ensure safety and prevent further subsidence.
Blocked gullies, heavy rainfall, or debris buildup can cause flooding and drainage failure, requiring regular maintenance.
A detailed inspection of drainage systems, usually using CCTV cameras, to identify blockages, damage, and maintenance needs.
Before property purchases, construction projects, recurring drainage issues, or to assess damage after flooding or subsidence.
A small, high-resolution camera is inserted into the drain to capture live footage, allowing engineers to assess its condition.
Blockages, cracks, collapsed pipes, root intrusion, leaks, debris buildup, and structural defects in the drainage system.
Typically, between 30 minutes and a few hours, depending on the drainage system’s size and complexity.
A detailed assessment, video footage, drain layout mapping, and recommendations for repairs or maintenance.
Yes, early detection of issues allows for preventative maintenance, reducing the risk of costly repairs and blockages.
Highly recommended, as it can reveal hidden drainage problems that could lead to expensive repairs later.
The report will outline repair options such as jetting, relining, root removal, or excavation if necessary.
Small-scale construction, repairs, and maintenance tasks in outdoor spaces to improve safety, functionality, and aesthetics.
Paving repairs, drainage works, kerb installation, bollard installation, fencing repairs, small-scale resurfacing, and foundation works.
Most small works do not require permission, but larger projects or work in conservation areas may need council approval.
Depending on complexity, they can take a few hours to several days, with factors like weather and material curing times affecting duration.
Common materials include concrete, tarmac, bricks, paving slabs, metal, and treated timber, depending on the project.
Some works, like drainage or excavation, may be delayed by heavy rain; while paving and concrete repairs require dry conditions.
Responsibility depends on the site; local councils, property managers, or business owners may be liable for upkeep.
Regular inspections help identify issues like cracked surfaces, loose paving, damaged bollards, or drainage problems before they worsen.
Yes, works such as trip hazard repairs, drainage improvements, better walkways, and secure fencing help reduce risks and ensure compliance.
Regular inspection, cleaning, and repairs to prevent leaks, structural damage, and extend the roof’s lifespan.
At least twice a year (spring and autumn) and after severe weather to check for damage.
Leaks, missing or cracked tiles, moss growth, blocked gutters, sagging areas, and water stains on ceilings.
Moss retains moisture, leading to roof deterioration, blocked gutters, and potential leaks.
By sealing gaps, replacing damaged tiles, repairing flashing, and ensuring proper drainage.
Flashing is the seal around joints and chimneys that prevents water ingress; it can degrade and require resealing or replacement.
Blocked gutters cause water overflow, which can lead to roof leaks, damp issues, and structural damage.
Simple cleaning and inspections take a few hours, while repairs may take a day or more, depending on severity.
Yes, early detection and minor fixes prevent expensive structural repairs and roof replacements.
Options include timber, metal, mesh, palisade, security, and temporary fencing, depending on security and aesthetic needs.

It enhances appearance, prevents drain blockages, reduces slip hazards, and helps meet environmental standards.
Frequency depends on usage, but high-traffic areas may need weekly or monthly sweeping, while others require seasonal cleaning.
Tarmac, concrete, block paving, and other hard outdoor surfaces can be safely cleaned with road sweepers.
Yes, by removing leaves, dirt, and debris that can block gulleys and drains, reducing surface water buildup.
Standard sweeping removes loose debris, but pressure washing or specialist treatments may be needed for oil and chemical stains.
