Be proactive today – the easy steps you can take to prevent potholes

Potholes are a common problem in the UK, especially during the winter months. The repeated freezing and warming of temperatures is the ideal weather pattern which encourage potholes to appear.

By working with OUTCO we can prevent potholes from becoming a problem.

Performing regular site inspections will help you identify any potential issues, and by acting early, you will not only prolong the life of your hard-standing surfaces but save costs on larger repairs later on.

Our advice is simple when it comes to potholes: be proactive, rather than reactive.

How to identify the early signs of potholes

• Loose material sitting on top of the surface
• Cracks or “crocodile skin” beginning to appear
• Depressions or water pooling
• Small holes due to missing material
• Breakdown or wearing of joints and/or sealing material.

Prevent potholes from appearing on your site

You have a duty of care to ensure your sites are safe, compliant and without risks to either workers or visitors. Acting as soon as issues appear will help prevent the problem from developing into a bigger concern over time. A site inspection will allow us to:

• Inspect the failure and the surrounding area
• Identify potential issues and highlight concerns
• Provide expert advice on what has caused the defect and advise on the most suitable course of action.
