As a consequence the patching gangs are busy all year round - but how wisely are councils spending their money? A good many patches start to crumble around the edges within a year or so and some don't even make it through the season.
The London Borough of Waltham Forest faced this very problem at Thomas Gamuel Primary School.
The school playground was repaired using red and green Coverall and white-lined.
The positive results achieved means that a further six playgrounds will soon be resurfaced and pupils will benefit from having full access to their play areas.
Edwin Sheppard, Managing Director, of Coverall believes this demonstrates that they have the answer to the problem.
"If you seal a bitmac surface with a liquid asphalt solution such as Coverall", he says, "weathering through oxidisation is reduced dramatically".
"Just a thin layer of the product (which is cold lay and therefore easy and safe to use) will effectively seal the patch".
"The repair produces a virtually seamless join with the existing surface where most of the patch damage occurs".
"In my opinion the cost of a pail or two of good quality sealant is absolutely negligible in comparison to doing the whole thing all over again in a few months." The cost argument is a strong one too.
To patch a 1 square metre would use around 1.5 litres of Coverall and cost £3.50 plus VAT.
If you add in that it requires no skilled labour or special tools and equipment the cost savings are impressive.
