Pothole prevention through professional crack sealing and joint repair systems. Protecting road surfaces across Wales and the South West.
Every pothole starts as a crack. Water penetrates the road surface through cracks and joints, weakens the sub-base, and the combined effect of traffic loading and freeze-thaw cycles turns a minor surface defect into a costly pothole. Roman Road Marking provides professional highway crack infill and joint repair services that stop this process before it starts.
Based in Newport, we serve local authorities, highway agencies and private landowners across Cardiff, Swansea, Torfaen and the whole of South Wales. Our crack sealing service is a cost-effective preventative maintenance solution that extends the life of road surfaces and prevents expensive reactive repairs.
The UK road maintenance backlog is well documented. Councils face constrained budgets and increasing demands on deteriorating road networks. Crack sealing is one of the most cost-effective tools available:
We survey the road surface to identify and classify cracks by type and severity. Longitudinal, transverse, block and alligator cracking patterns each require different approaches.
Cracks are cleaned using compressed air or mechanical routing to remove debris, vegetation and loose material. Proper preparation ensures the sealant bonds effectively.
Hot-applied rubberised bitumen sealant is poured into prepared cracks using specialist equipment. The sealant remains flexible throughout its service life, expanding and contracting with temperature changes — unlike rigid repairs that crack again within months.
SHOWCASE PRODUCT
We use SWARCO ECO TexBand Solo — a BBA HAPAS certified fill and overband system that permanently seals cracks up to 40mm in a single pass. Trusted by local authorities across Wales. Learn more about TexBand Solo →
Construction joints and expansion joints in concrete roads require specialist attention. We apply appropriate joint sealant systems that maintain the joint function while preventing water penetration.
The economics are clear: Preventative crack sealing costs a fraction of reactive pothole repair. Sealing cracks early delivers significant returns on investment for highway authorities and private road owners. Contact us for a free survey and quote.
Crack infill is often combined with thermoplastic road marking and road stud replacement as part of comprehensive highway maintenance. Contact us for a free site assessment.
Costs depend on crack width, depth, total length and site accessibility. Crack sealing is significantly cheaper than reactive pothole repair, making it one of the most cost-effective highway maintenance treatments available. We provide free surveys and detailed no-obligation quotes for every project.
Hot-applied rubberised bitumen sealant typically lasts 5-8 years depending on traffic volume and climate. The flexible sealant moves with the road surface rather than cracking again.
Spring through autumn when temperatures are mild and surfaces are dry. The key is to seal before winter when freeze-thaw cycles cause the most damage.
Yes. Car park surfaces are particularly susceptible to cracking. Regular crack sealing extends car park surface life significantly and reduces the need for costly resurfacing.
