- Find the cause: water, root, soft base or missing edge
- Saw-cut the damaged area square, back to sound tarmac
- Dig out and replace failed sub-base, compact in layers
- Bond coat to the cut faces and base
- Joints sealed to stop water getting under the patch
- Edge restraint replaced where the side has crumbled
