  • Used extensively on UK motorway network.

  • Hot applied flexible polymerised materials seal and fill.

  • Protects your highway asset.

Cats eye hole filling with BBA HAPAS approved materials

  • Removing metal road studs from the road leaves a significant hole in the carriageway that needs to be filled. 
  • BBA HAPAS approved Jointmaster approved materials are used to fill the hole, seal the edges, and eliminate voids.
  • Applied as a molten material at 180°c, the sealant pours into the hole sealing all faces.
  • The material is rigorously tested by BBA under HAPAS and is approved for rut resistance, skid resistance, adhesion and more.
  • Material cures quickly, allowing site to be opened to traffic at the end of the shift
  • Our crews can remove the existing studs for you
  • Road markings can be replaced at the end of the shift 
filling a cats eye: 1. Once the existing road stud is removed (which we can do if required), all defective and loose material is blown away with a hot air lance to remove any loose materials and liven up any binder left in the road surface. 2. Jointmaster material is then poured into the hole to leave a smooth level finish. The material is a hot (180⁰c) applied polymerised bituminous material with added sand, aggregates, and fibres. This material flows into the bottom of the hole, filling the void, sealing the edges, and providing a watertight seal. 3. A dressing of high PSV (polished stone value) aggregate is applied to the surface, sticking to the Jointmaster material to leave a skid resistant finish. 4. The finished job is left to cool (anything from 20 mins to 1 hour) before a final sweep removes any excess aggregate and the road is reopened to traffic.
