Asphalt Crack Sealing

Sealing cracks early keeps water out of the road base and stops small cracks turning into potholes. It is one of the cheapest ways to extend the life of a tar surface.

Why cracks need sealing

Water that gets through a crack softens the layers underneath. Traffic then pumps the wet material out, the edges break up and a pothole forms. Sealed cracks keep the base dry and strong.

How we seal cracks

We clean out loose material and dust, and where needed rout the crack so the sealant has a clean edge. A flexible bitumen sealant is then applied so it moves with the surface as temperatures change.

Part of a maintenance plan

Crack sealing pairs well with slurry sealing: seal the cracks first, then slurry the whole area for a uniform finish. For estates and parking lots we can inspect and seal on a regular cycle.

What affects the price

  • The total length and width of cracks
  • Whether patches or slurry are added
  • Access and traffic management
  • The distance to site

Site visit and quotation fees depend on the distance to your site. Send us your measurements and location on WhatsApp for a quick estimate.

Questions people ask

How long does a tar driveway last?

A properly built tar driveway can last many years. Its lifespan depends mostly on a well-compacted base, good drainage, the traffic it carries and maintenance such as crack sealing and slurry sealing.
