Elastomac Repair Services
Fast, durable and sustainable road repair solutions
THB provides professional Elastomac repair services for roads, highways, car parks and commercial surfaces. Elastomac is a hot-applied, rubber-modified mastic asphalt developed by Roadmender, designed to deliver long-lasting repairs with minimal disruption.
As a certified Elastomac installer, THB has multiple trained and experienced gangs capable of delivering a wide range of applications, including pothole repairs, patching, alligator cracking, ironwork surrounds, cracks and joint defects.
Elastomac provides a flexible, waterproof and fully bonded repair that performs well under traffic loading while helping to reduce waste, disruption and carbon impact compared with traditional patch repair methods.
Certified Elastomac installation by THB
Elastomac is suitable for repairing shallow defects in both asphalt and concrete surfaces. During installation, the material is heated and poured as a molten liquid directly into the defect. As it cools, it forms a strong, flexible and waterproof repair that bonds to the surrounding surface.
This makes Elastomac ideal for treating defects where speed, durability and reduced disruption are important.
THB can use Elastomac for:
- Pothole repairs
- Alligator cracking repairs
- Localised patching
- Ironwork surround repairs
- Crack and joint defects
- Surface defects in asphalt
- Surface defects in concrete
- Planned and reactive maintenance works
A faster alternative to traditional patch repairs
Traditional patching often involves noisy cutting, excavation, removal of material, compaction and reinstatement. Elastomac offers a quicker and less disruptive alternative for suitable defects.
Because the material is hot-applied and fast-setting, repaired areas can often be reopened quickly, helping to reduce traffic disruption, site downtime and traffic management costs.
This makes Elastomac particularly useful for highways, live traffic environments, commercial sites, car parks, depots and other locations where disruption needs to be kept to a minimum.
Key benefits of Elastomac repairs
Fast installation and reopening
Elastomac repairs can often be completed and reopened to traffic quickly, depending on repair depth, site conditions and curing requirements.
Long-lasting performance
The material creates a flexible, fully bonded repair designed to offer a longer service life than temporary patching.
Waterproof protection
Once cured, Elastomac helps prevent water ingress, reducing the risk of further deterioration beneath the surface.
Reduced disruption
The process avoids noisy cutting, heavy excavation and large-scale compaction, helping to reduce dust, vibration, waste and disruption.
Sustainable repair method
Elastomac incorporates recycled rubber, with every tonne containing the equivalent of up to nine end-of-life tyres, supporting more sustainable road maintenance.
Low-waste application
The method helps reduce waste compared with traditional excavation-based repair techniques.
Suitable for asphalt and concrete
Elastomac can be used on both asphalt and concrete surfaces, making it a flexible solution for a wide range of road and site conditions.
Improved skid resistance
Repairs can utilise bauxite stone to help improve skid resistance, with typical initial skid resistance values greater than 60 PSV.
Efficient delivery
Where site conditions allow, up to 300m² of repairs can be completed in a single shift.
Suitable for highways, car parks and commercial sites
THB delivers Elastomac repairs across a range of environments, including:
- Roads and highways
- Local authority road networks
- Commercial car parks
- Retail parks
- Industrial estates
- Logistics depots
- Private roads
- Service yards
- Concrete and asphalt surfaces
- Areas around ironwork and utility covers
Whether you require planned maintenance or reactive repairs, THB can provide a fast and practical solution designed around your site conditions.
Our Elastomac repair process
1. Defect assessment
We assess the surface defect to confirm whether Elastomac is suitable and determine the best repair approach.
2. Surface preparation
The repair area is cleaned and prepared to ensure the material can bond effectively to the surrounding surface.
3. Hot-applied installation
Elastomac is heated and poured into the pothole, crack, joint or shallow defect as a molten repair material.
4. Finishing
The repair is finished to suit the surrounding surface, with aggregate or bauxite applied where required to support skid resistance.
5. Cooling and reopening
Once the material has cooled and cured sufficiently, the area can be reopened in line with site and traffic requirements.
