If a pothole or failed asphalt area is affecting safe access, call Atkinson Surfacing. We aim to respond to urgent surface-defect calls within 8 hours; this means response/contact, not guaranteed attendance.

01 / When you call

Tell us what has happened.

The clearest description is usually the most useful. Only inspect or photograph the area if it is safe to do so.

  1. 01
    Location
    The site postcode and where the defect sits within the site.
  2. 02
    Access
    Whether the area carries pedestrians, cars, delivery vehicles or HGV traffic.
  3. 03
    Current risk
    What is affected now, including any route that needs to remain open.
  4. 04
    Scale
    An approximate size, plus photographs if they can be taken safely.
  5. 05
    Site contact
    Who can discuss access and meet us on site if an inspection is arranged.

02 / Decide the right intervention

Make safe is not the same as final repair.

Immediate control

Making the area safe.

The first requirement may be to isolate the defect, control vehicle or pedestrian movement, or carry out suitable temporary make-safe work until a permanent repair can be completed. The action depends on the condition found and how the site is being used.

Follow-on work

Completing the repair.

A lasting repair may require failed material to be removed, the area prepared and hot-lay asphalt placed and compacted. Where failure is widespread, planned resurfacing may be the more appropriate route.

03 / Next route

The scope determines what happens next.

Urgent call-outs are primarily available across Leeds and West Yorkshire.

Out-of-hours, weekend and night work is available where required, subject to access and scheduling.
