Paddway Surfacing Solutions carries out lasting pothole repair on private driveways, commercial car parks and private roads across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire. If a pothole is on your own ground, it is yours to sort, and Jamie Robinson repairs it to a surfacing standard: cut back to sound edges and reinstated to last, rather than filled and rolled flush. 17 years in the trade, blue CSCS card, NRSWA street works ticket, and a 3-year workmanship guarantee.
Pothole repair on private ground means cutting out and permanently reinstating the failed area of a driveway, car park or private road that you, not the council, are responsible for. A pothole forms where water gets into a crack, freezes, and breaks the surface apart under traffic, and left alone it only ever spreads. A proper repair takes it back to a sound, level surface that carries traffic again and holds.
The key thing to establish is whose responsibility it is. Potholes on public, adopted roads are the council's to fix. Potholes on a private driveway, a commercial car park, a private road or an unadopted road are the owner's, whether that is a homeowner, a landlord, a business or a facilities manager. Those are precisely the repairs Paddway carries out.
Across private and commercial surfaces throughout the region, this is the pothole and surface-repair work Paddway is trusted with:
Repairs to tarmac, concrete and block-paved driveways, cut out and reinstated so the fix blends in and holds.
Fast, lasting repairs to keep a trading car park safe and remove the trip and vehicle-damage hazards that lead to claims.
Repairs to private roads, estate roads and farm tracks that no council will attend.
Surface repairs to yards, forecourts and access areas that take heavy or constant traffic.
The failed area cut back to sound edges and filled, or a wider patch where the surface has broken up across an area rather than at one point.

I can't recommend Paddway Surfacing Solutions enough. Jamie was so easy to deal with, from the first consultation and listened to what we wanted. We had a tarmac driveway laid with a grey block paving border. The price was so reasonable and the job was well executed. Really pleased with the work.
Read more on GoogleCut back to sound edgesA lasting repair starts by cutting out the broken surface to firm, square edges, so the new material bonds to something solid rather than to crumbling tarmac.
It stays fixedTacked, filled and compacted correctly, the repair knits into the surface around it and carries traffic. A pothole simply filled and rolled flush lifts out again within weeks.
It removes the hazardOn a car park or forecourt a pothole is a trip and vehicle-damage risk that sits behind most claims. A level surface removes it.
It stops the spreadWater works into the edges of an untreated pothole and moves outward. Repaired at the cause, it stops there instead of taking the surface around it.
Jamie looks at the pothole or damaged area, checks how deep the failure goes, and works out whether it is a cut-out-and-fill, a wider patch, or a sign the surface needs resurfacing.

The failed area is cut back to sound, square edges and cleaned out, so the repair bonds to solid material.
The edges are tacked, fresh material laid, and the repair compacted level with the surface around it.
The surface left flush and trafficable, the site cleared, and the work backed by our 3-year workmanship guarantee.
A lasting pothole repair depends on one thing above all: cutting the failed surface back to sound, solid edges before any new material goes in. A pothole simply filled and rolled flush has nothing to bond to, so it looks fixed for a fortnight and then lifts out under the first hard frost. Jamie cuts back to sound edges, tacks and compacts the repair to a surfacing standard, which is why a Paddway repair knits into the surface and stays rather than coming straight back.
You also get a contractor who repairs a single driveway pothole and a whole car park to the same standard, and who will tell you honestly when repeated potholes mean the surface itself has reached the end of patching. Paddway carries £1 million public liability insurance, a blue CSCS card and an NRSWA street works ticket, and backs every repair with a 3-year workmanship guarantee. The quote is free, written and without obligation.

“A pothole is a simple job, but only when it is done to a surfacing standard. Square it up, clean it out, tack it and compact it, and it knits into the surface and stays. Fill it loose and it is back by the next frost. I repair every one to the standard I would put down on a road, and I stand behind it.”Jamie Robinson, owner
