Potholes aren't just an eyesore — they're a serious liability. A single unrepaired pothole can damage vehicles, cause injuries, and expose your business to costly compensation claims. At M Calladine Groundworks, we don't do temporary fixes.
Every repair we carry out is cut, cleaned and filled properly using hot or cold lay tarmac, compacted to a professional finish that blends with the surrounding surface and lasts for years — not weeks.
We work across all types of surfaces and locations: car parks, forecourts, private roads, industrial estates, driveways and footpaths. No job is too small or too large, and we always aim to get to you fast.
With over 15 years of experience across the West Midlands, you can trust that the job will be done right — first time.
If a vehicle is damaged by a pothole on your property, you could be held liable. Business owners and landlords have a legal duty to keep surfaces in a safe condition. A repair costs a fraction of a compensation claim — and the legal fees that come with it.
Potholes fill with water and become invisible trip hazards, especially at night or in poor weather. A customer, member of staff or delivery driver could easily twist an ankle or take a serious fall. As a property owner, you carry that responsibility.
Water gets into the cracks, freezes, expands and breaks the surface apart. What starts as a small dip can become a large, deep pothole within a single winter. The longer you leave it, the bigger the repair bill — and the greater the risk to people and vehicles.
A pothole-ridden car park or forecourt gives customers a poor first impression. For forecourts, retail parks and business premises, the condition of your surface reflects the quality of your business. A clean, well-maintained surface says you care about your site.
Delaying a repair rarely saves money. Surface damage spreads, subsidence worsens, and drainage problems develop. A small pothole repair today could prevent the need for full resurfacing next year — saving you thousands of pounds.
Some potholes develop quickly and become dangerous overnight — particularly after heavy rainfall or a hard frost. That's why we operate a 24/7 emergency callout service. If you have a pothole that can't wait, call us and we'll be there.
We start by assessing the pothole — its depth, width, the condition of the surrounding surface, and whether there are any drainage or subsidence issues underneath. This tells us the right repair method to use and ensures a long-lasting result rather than a quick fix that fails in a few months.
Unlike a simple "throw and go" patch, we cut the edges of the pothole into a clean square or rectangle using a disc cutter. This gives the repair solid, stable edges to bond to. Any loose or crumbling material is removed and the base is cleared of debris and water.
Before any tarmac goes in, we apply a tack coat — a bitumen-based primer that creates a strong bond between the existing surface and the new material. This step is often skipped by cheaper operators, and it's one of the main reasons repairs fail prematurely. We don't skip it.
We fill the repair with high-quality tarmac — either hot lay for larger areas or cold lay for smaller patches. The material is placed in layers where needed to build up depth, ensuring even compaction throughout the repair rather than a single thick layer that can crack.
The tarmac is compacted using a roller or plate compactor to achieve a solid, even finish that sits flush with the surrounding surface. We take care to blend the repair into the existing tarmac so the result looks as neat as possible, not just functional.
We leave the site clean and tidy, remove any cones or barriers, and walk you through the completed repair. The surface is ready to use almost immediately. We're happy to advise on any other areas of concern while we're on site — at no extra charge.
Car parks take a constant battering from vehicles of all sizes. We repair individual potholes or multiple patches across a car park quickly and with minimal disruption to your business.
Petrol stations and retail forecourts need fast, reliable repairs that stand up to constant vehicle traffic and fuel spillage. We use fuel-resistant materials and work efficiently to keep your forecourt open.
Potholes on private roads and residential driveways cause damage to vehicles every day. We carry out neat, permanent repairs that restore the surface and protect your driveway from further deterioration.
Warehouses, industrial estates and commercial yards often suffer heavy pothole damage from HGVs and forklift traffic. We carry out repairs suited to heavy-use environments with materials that can handle the load.
Based in the West Midlands, we carry out pothole repairs across Birmingham and all surrounding towns. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, just give us a call.
