Crack Repair & Overbanding
Quick Response Times FREE Competitive Quotes National Coverage Rated Excellent on TrustPilot Fully Accredited & ApprovedDurable Crack Repair & Overbanding Services For Asphalt & Concrete Surfaces
We at THB provide professional crack repair and overbanding services for cracked asphalt and concrete surfaces, helping to restore strength, prevent water ingress and extend the service life of roads, highways, car parks, airfields and other trafficked areas. Unlike temporary surface sealants, crack repair and overbanding services are designed to treat the defect more comprehensively. The damaged area is prepared, cleaned and rebuilt using a durable repair system that helps maintain surface performance under regular and heavy traffic conditions. This method is ideal for treating open cracks, failed joints and wider defects where a longer lasting repair is required.
A Long Term Alternative To Temporary Crack Sealing
Cracks in asphalt and concrete can quickly worsen when water, frost, de-icing salts and repeated traffic loading enter the pavement structure. Over time, this can lead to potholes, surface failure, reflective cracking and costly repeat repairs. Our process creates a stronger, more resilient repair by removing damaged material and reinstating the area with a layered repair system designed to support long term performance. By treating the crack at depth, we at THB help to protect the surrounding surface, improve safety and reduce the risk of further deterioration.
Our Crack Repair & Overbanding Process
1. Defect Assessment – We assess the crack or joint to determine the required repair width, depth and overall treatment area.
2. Precision Planing – A channel is carefully planed along the length of the crack to remove damaged material and create a clean repair area.
3. Surface Preparation – Loose material, dust and debris are removed to ensure the repair area is clean, stable and ready for reinstatement.
4. Structural Base Layer – The first layer of the repair system is installed using larger aggregate to provide strength, stability and support within the channel.
5. Finishing Layer – Once the base layer has cured, a second finishing layer is applied to create a smooth, durable surface.
6. Skid Resistant Finish – Surface chippings are added to help reinstate skid resistance and provide a safe, consistent finish for road users.
Benefits Of Crack Repair & Overbanding
Long Lasting Performance – Creates a stronger structural repair that helps resist further cracking and extends pavement life.
Waterproof Protection – Helps prevent water, frost and de-icing salts from penetrating the surface and weakening the underlying structure.
Reduced Future Maintenance – By repairing the defect properly, crack repair and overbanding can reduce the need for repeated short term patching or sealing.
Minimal Disruption – Fast curing materials allow treated areas to be reopened quickly, helping to reduce downtime and traffic impact.
Flexible Application – Suitable for single cracks, multiple cracks, failed joints and defects of varying widths and depths.
Heavy Duty Strength – Designed to withstand regular traffic loading, including cars, commercial vehicles and HGVs.
Improved Road Safety – A properly finished repair helps maintain ride quality, surface consistency and skid resistance.
Better Visual Finish – The repaired area is finished with surface chippings to create a more consistent appearance with the surrounding carriageway.

FAQ's
Crack repair and overbanding is a structural repair method where a channel is planed along the crack, cleaned and reinstated with a durable layered repair system.
Crack sealing is typically a surface level treatment. Crack repair and overbanding treats the defect more deeply by removing damaged material and rebuilding the affected area for a stronger, longer lasting result.
Our services can be used on asphalt and concrete surfaces, including roads, highways, car parks, yards, depots and other trafficked areas.
Yes. The repair system helps prevent water, frost and de-icing salts from entering the pavement structure, reducing the risk of further damage.
Reopening times depend on the materials used, site conditions and traffic requirements but fast curing systems can help minimise disruption and downtime.
