Frequently Asked Questions
There's no single rule, but as a guide many highways authorities act on potholes deeper than around 40mm, though on private land the sensible point to repair is much earlier. Left alone, a small pothole spreads quickly as water gets in and traffic breaks up the edges. We'd always recommend dealing with them early, and our team repairs potholes on driveways, car parks and private roads across Lewisham and Bexley.
Yes, a properly carried out repair can be long-lasting, but it depends on the method - a quick surface patch will fail far sooner than a repair that cuts back to a sound edge and reinstates the full depth. Many potholes return because the damaged area wasn't squared off and compacted correctly. We repair to match the surrounding surface and level it off properly, so the fix holds rather than lifting again after a few months.
Most failed repairs come down to poor preparation - filling a wet or dirty hole, not cutting back to firm edges, or skipping proper compaction. When any of those are rushed, water works back in and the patch lifts under traffic. Our approach is to prepare the area thoroughly and compact the new material to the surrounding level, which is what gives a repair its longevity across the South East.
Most individual pothole repairs are quick - often completed in well under a day - though the exact time depends on how many there are and the amount of preparation each needs. Larger clusters or badly broken-up areas naturally take longer. We work efficiently to keep driveways, car parks and access roads usable, and we'll give you a realistic timeframe before starting.
The best time to repair a pothole is as soon as it appears, before water and traffic widen it into a larger, more expensive problem. Autumn and winter accelerate the damage as water freezes and thaws inside the cracks. Prompt repair keeps the surface safe for vehicles and pedestrians, and our Lewisham and Bexley team can attend quickly when a pothole starts to form.
For claims against a council, potholes generally need to be fairly deep - often cited at around 40mm or more - though the exact threshold and process vary by authority. On private property, though, the responsibility and the repair both fall to the owner rather than the council. If you're dealing with potholes on a private road, car park or driveway, we can carry out a durable repair without the wait.
