Before the repair work has been done and after the application of Roadmender mastic to repair and seal the road surface
Our highway inspectors identify suitable sites to use the product as part of their regular checks.
Roadmender has a high recycled rubber content, from old HGV tyres, and is more elastic than traditional asphalt, giving a long lasting, permanent repair. This means it can be applied directly onto roads in need of repair as a new protective road surface where potholes or cracking damage have previously occurred.
If the potholes are deep, we will fill them first to create a smooth surface before we apply the treatment.
The product is guaranteed for 12 months and creates a sealed surface with no joints, which is ideal as it prevents water from getting in and causing damage to the surface and structure of the road.
We also use the treatment on roads we have already patched, applying the product around the edges of our repairs to give a permanent and long-lasting repair.
During the 2026/2027 financial year, we intend to use Roadmender at 55 sites.
