How to apply IRR 6mm and SCJ
Stage 1 — Prepare the area
- Saw cut a ‘picture frame’ around the repair or reinstatement area where required.
- Remove all loose material and debris. The area does not need to be dry.
Stage 2 — Apply SCJ Cold Joint Spray
- Shake the SCJ can well before use.
- Spray SCJ directly onto all vertical faces of the excavation and the substrate.
- Allow a few seconds for the tack coat to become touch-dry before placing IRR.
Stage 3 — Place and compact IRR 6mm
- For deeper reinstatements, use the layer-on-layer method. Apply IRR to approximately 45mm depth and compact to 30mm for each layer.
- Before applying each additional layer, re-apply SCJ to the vertical edges of the previous layer.
- Repeat until the required depth is reached, finishing with a well-compacted surface layer.
- Compact in accordance with Appendix 8 of the SROH* Fourth Edition 2020.
Stage 4 — Seal the joint
- After final compaction, apply SCJ to the joint between the repair and the surrounding surface.
- Where specified, apply UltraCrete Instaband ECO thermoplastic overbanding tape over the sealed joint.

UltraCrete IRR 6mm & SCJ Bundle — 52 x 25KG Tubs + 12 Cans
This full-pallet bundle brings together 52 x 25KG tubs of UltraCrete IRR 6mm and 12 cans of SCJ Cold Joint Bitumen Spray for permanent first-time repairs to footways, footpaths, cycle tracks, car parks and driveways. It is supplied with free delivery to England & Wales.
HAPAS approved since 2002, PSV 65, suitable for repairs from 15–100mm deep, and instantly trafficable once correctly compacted.
We’re a small, family-run business — I’m Cleo, the owner, with over 25 years in the construction industry working with businesses including Tarmac and Instarmac. If you’re ordering for a planned programme or need to check whether 6mm is the right grade, call us on 0330 122 1025 and we’ll be happy to help.
What’s included?
- 52 x 25KG tubs of UltraCrete IRR 6mm, a fine-grade permanent cold-lay asphalt for footways, footpaths, cycle tracks, car parks and driveways.
- 12 x 750ml cans of SCJ Cold Joint Bitumen Spray, applied to vertical faces and the substrate before and between layers of IRR.

Why use IRR 6mm with SCJ?
SCJ is applied to the vertical edges of the excavation and the substrate before the IRR is placed. It forms the bituminous seal and tack coat that helps prevent water ingress and creates a proper bond between the repair and the surrounding surface. Re-apply it to the edges before each additional layer, then use it to seal the final joint after compaction.
The 52-tub quantity suits contractors, maintenance teams and planned repair programmes that need a full pallet of tubs rather than individual units. The tubs are resealable, which can be useful when material needs to be moved between jobs, but once opened all material should be used.

IRR 6mm and SCJ bundle FAQs
I’m Cleo, owner of The Paving Experts, with over 25 years in the construction industry working with businesses including Tarmac and Instarmac. I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we’re asked every single day.
Is this 52-tub offer suitable for a full-pallet order?
Yes. This offer contains 52 x 25KG tubs of IRR 6mm and 12 cans of SCJ, supplied as a full-pallet deal with free delivery to England & Wales. If you need a different quantity, we can also supply single tubs, 26-tub quantities and bags.
Do I need to use SCJ with IRR 6mm?
Yes, for a first-time permanent repair SCJ should be applied to the vertical edges and substrate before placing IRR. Re-apply it to the edges before any additional layer and to the final joint after compaction.
How do I apply SCJ?
Shake the can well and spray directly onto the vertical faces of the excavation and the substrate before placing IRR. Re-apply it to the vertical edges before each additional layer. After final compaction, apply SCJ to the joint between the repair and the surrounding surface.
How many cans of SCJ are included?
This bundle includes 12 x 750ml cans. The coverage depends on the width and thickness applied. The bundle specification is approximately 150 linear metres per can.
Can IRR 6mm be used in the rain?
IRR 6mm can be used in wet conditions when it is placed and compacted correctly. For heavy or persistent rain, UltraCrete Tough Patch Rapid may be the better choice because it is designed for water-curing and higher skid resistance.
How quickly can the area be opened?
Once the IRR has been correctly compacted, it is instantly trafficable, subject to the requirements of the site.
What is the shelf life?
IRR 6mm has a shelf life of 6 months from the date of manufacture in sealed tubs. Once opened, use all the material. Store SCJ cans in a cool, well-ventilated place and check the can for its date information.
Can utilities contractors use this bundle?
Yes, the IRR 6mm and SCJ combination can be used for suitable footway, footpath, cycle-track and other reinstatement work following utility repairs, duct installation or other openings. Always check the required road category, depth and reinstatement specification before choosing the grade.
Can I use this for a driveway or car-park repair?
IRR 6mm is suitable for many driveway and car-park repairs when the depth and substrate are appropriate. Remove loose material, apply SCJ to the edges and base, place the IRR in suitable layers and compact it thoroughly. Contact us if you want to check a particular repair before ordering.
FAQs from the single IRR 6mm tub page
What is the difference between the tub and the bag?
Both contain 25KG of the same IRR 6mm material and once opened, all material should be used. The tub is preferred by contractors who need a stackable, rigid container that is easy to move around site and between jobs. The bag gives better pallet efficiency, with 56 bags compared with 52 tubs per pallet, and suits larger single repairs or bulk purchasing.
Can I reseal the tub and use it later?
The tub is a practical rigid format for handling and storage, but once opened all material should be used. Plan to complete the repair using the full contents of the tub.
Is Instant Road Repair 6mm a permanent repair?
Yes. When applied correctly, including the use of UltraCrete SCJ to seal the edges and substrate, IRR 6mm provides a first-time permanent reinstatement. It has been HAPAS approved since 2002.
Can I use IRR 6mm on a car park or driveway?
Yes. IRR 6mm is suitable for car parks and driveways as well as footways, footpaths and cycle tracks. For high-stress areas subject to turning or heavy braking, UltraCrete Tough Patch offers greater skid resistance.
What is the difference between 6mm and 10mm?
6mm is for footways, footpaths, cycle tracks, car parks and driveways, with a minimum depth of 15mm. 10mm is for Type 3 and 4 roads, with a minimum depth of 30mm. If your repair is shallower than 30mm, 6mm is the correct specification.
Why is my IRR firm in the tub?
Apply light pressure to the material in the tub to restore normal consistency. In cold weather, store it somewhere warm overnight before use.
Is a pallet deal available?
Yes. This page is the 52-tub full-pallet deal, supplied with 12 cans of SCJ and free standard delivery to England & Wales. For other quantities, call 0330 122 1025.
FAQs from the single SCJ Cold Joint Spray page
What is UltraCrete SCJ Seal and Tack Coat Spray?
UltraCrete SCJ is a cold joint sealer applied to the vertical edges and surface base before asphalt is laid. It helps prevent water ingress, improves the bond and can prolong the life of the repair. It is HAPAS approved since 2005 and can be used in all weathers on damp or dry surfaces.
Can I use SCJ to repair a pothole on my driveway?
Yes. SCJ is suitable for homeowners repairing potholes on private driveways, shared access roads or private estate roads as well as for professional reinstatement work. Apply it to the edges and base before filling with a cold-lay tarmac such as Ultracrete PPR. A single can is often enough for a domestic repair, depending on the repair size and the thickness applied.
Is SCJ suitable for car park repairs?
Yes. SCJ is suitable for asphalt repairs in commercial car parks, retail parks, supermarket sites, logistics centres and industrial estates. Apply it to the vertical edges and base before laying cold- or hot-lay tarmac to improve the bond and help prevent water ingress at the joint.
Can utilities contractors use SCJ for reinstatements after fibre or utility installations?
Yes. SCJ can be used by fibre, telecoms, water, gas and electricity teams when reinstating asphalt after excavation in roads, footways and verges. Always check the required road category, depth and reinstatement specification before choosing the repair material.
What is tack coat spray used for on asphalt repairs?
A tack coat spray is applied to the vertical edges and substrate before cold- or hot-lay asphalt is placed. It acts as a bonding layer between the new material and the existing surface, helping prevent water ingress and reducing the risk of failure at the joint.
Why should I use tack coat on asphalt repairs?
Without a tack coat, new asphalt can fail at the joint between new and existing material, allowing water to penetrate and damage the repair. Applying SCJ before laying asphalt creates a bituminous bond and helps extend repair life.
How do you seal the edges of an asphalt repair?
After cutting a neat picture frame and removing loose debris, spray SCJ onto all vertical cut faces and the substrate from approximately 175–250mm away, working from the top downwards. Ensure the surface is covered before laying asphalt. Where specified, finish with Instaband ECO around the completed reinstatement.
How do you improve the bond between asphalt and an existing substrate?
Apply SCJ as a bitumen bonding spray to the substrate before laying asphalt. It coats the base and vertical edges, helping lock the new material into the existing surface. This is particularly useful for utility reinstatements and manhole surrounds where the joint needs to be properly sealed.
How do you seal a manhole reinstatement?
Apply SCJ to all vertical edges and the substrate before the cold-lay asphalt is placed. Once the asphalt is compacted, apply Instaband ECO around the perimeter where specified to provide additional protection at the joint between new and existing material.
How do I prepare the surface before applying SCJ?
Remove standing water and loose particles as far as practical before application. SCJ can be applied to damp or dry surfaces, making it suitable for most site conditions.
How do I apply UltraCrete SCJ Seal and Tack Coat Spray?
Shake the can vigorously before use. Invert the can and press the spray button. Cover the area with long strokes from approximately 175–250mm away, working from the top downwards, and make sure the entire surface is covered.
How much SCJ do I need?
Coverage depends on the width and thickness applied. For this bundle, the stated figure is approximately 150 linear metres per can. For a particular repair, allow for the size and shape of the excavation and contact us if you need help checking quantities.
How do I clean the SCJ nozzle after use?
Point the nozzle upwards immediately after use and spray for a few seconds to clear it, taking care not to spray into the wind. Cleaning the nozzle helps prevent the aerosol becoming blocked.
How do I store SCJ Cold Joint Spray?
Do not expose aerosol cans to direct sunlight or temperatures above 50°C. Store them in a cool, well-ventilated place and follow the date information on the can.
Can SCJ Cold Joint Spray be used in all weathers?
Yes. SCJ can be used in all weathers and applied to damp or dry surfaces, making it suitable for year-round maintenance and reinstatement work.
Is a box of 12 cans available?
Yes. This bundle includes 12 cans of SCJ. A standalone box of 12 cans is also available for teams buying SCJ separately.
What products can I use alongside SCJ Cold Joint Spray?
SCJ works alongside the UltraCrete reinstatement range. Use IRR 6mm for paths and car parks, PPR for suitable driveways and car parks, and IRR 10mm for roads and highways. Finish with Instaband ECO where overbanding is specified.

What is the difference between 6mm and 10mm?
6mm is for footways, footpaths, cycle tracks, car parks and driveways, with a minimum depth of 15mm. 10mm is for Type 3 and 4 roads, with a minimum depth of 30mm. If your repair is shallower than 30mm, 6mm is the correct specification.
Why is my IRR firm in the tub?
Apply light pressure to the material in the tub to restore normal consistency. In cold weather, store it somewhere warm overnight before use.
Is a pallet deal available?
Yes. This page is the 52-tub full-pallet deal, supplied with 12 cans of SCJ and free standard delivery to England & Wales. For other quantities, call 0330 122 1025.
FAQs from the single SCJ Cold Joint Spray page
What is UltraCrete SCJ Seal and Tack Coat Spray?
UltraCrete SCJ is a cold joint sealer applied to the vertical edges and surface base before asphalt is laid. It helps prevent water ingress, improves the bond and can prolong the life of the repair. It is HAPAS approved since 2005 and can be used in all weathers on damp or dry surfaces.
Can I use SCJ to repair a pothole on my driveway?
Yes. SCJ is suitable for homeowners repairing potholes on private driveways, shared access roads or private estate roads as well as for professional reinstatement work. Apply it to the edges and base before filling with a cold-lay tarmac such as Ultracrete PPR. A single can is often enough for a domestic repair, depending on the repair size and the thickness applied.
Is SCJ suitable for car park repairs?
Yes. SCJ is suitable for asphalt repairs in commercial car parks, retail parks, supermarket sites, logistics centres and industrial estates. Apply it to the vertical edges and base before laying cold- or hot-lay tarmac to improve the bond and help prevent water ingress at the joint.
Can utilities contractors use SCJ for reinstatements after fibre or utility installations?
Yes. SCJ can be used by fibre, telecoms, water, gas and electricity teams when reinstating asphalt after excavation in roads, footways and verges. Always check the required road category, depth and reinstatement specification before choosing the repair material.
What is tack coat spray used for on asphalt repairs?
A tack coat spray is applied to the vertical edges and substrate before cold- or hot-lay asphalt is placed. It acts as a bonding layer between the new material and the existing surface, helping prevent water ingress and reducing the risk of failure at the joint.
Why should I use tack coat on asphalt repairs?
Without a tack coat, new asphalt can fail at the joint between new and existing material, allowing water to penetrate and damage the repair. Applying SCJ before laying asphalt creates a bituminous bond and helps extend repair life.
How do you seal the edges of an asphalt repair?
After cutting a neat picture frame and removing loose debris, spray SCJ onto all vertical cut faces and the substrate from approximately 175–250mm away, working from the top downwards. Ensure the surface is covered before laying asphalt. Where specified, finish with Instaband ECO around the completed reinstatement.
How do you improve the bond between asphalt and an existing substrate?
Apply SCJ as a bitumen bonding spray to the substrate before laying asphalt. It coats the base and vertical edges, helping lock the new material into the existing surface. This is particularly useful for utility reinstatements and manhole surrounds where the joint needs to be properly sealed.
How do you seal a manhole reinstatement?
Apply SCJ to all vertical edges and the substrate before the cold-lay asphalt is placed. Once the asphalt is compacted, apply Instaband ECO around the perimeter where specified to provide additional protection at the joint between new and existing material.
How do I prepare the surface before applying SCJ?
Remove standing water and loose particles as far as practical before application. SCJ can be applied to damp or dry surfaces, making it suitable for most site conditions.
How do I apply UltraCrete SCJ Seal and Tack Coat Spray?
Shake the can vigorously before use. Invert the can and press the spray button. Cover the area with long strokes from approximately 175–250mm away, working from the top downwards, and make sure the entire surface is covered.
How much SCJ do I need?
Coverage depends on the width and thickness applied. For this bundle, the stated figure is approximately 150 linear metres per can. For a particular repair, allow for the size and shape of the excavation and contact us if you need help checking quantities.
How do I clean the SCJ nozzle after use?
Point the nozzle upwards immediately after use and spray for a few seconds to clear it, taking care not to spray into the wind. Cleaning the nozzle helps prevent the aerosol becoming blocked.
How do I store SCJ Cold Joint Spray?
Do not expose aerosol cans to direct sunlight or temperatures above 50°C. Store them in a cool, well-ventilated place and follow the date information on the can.
Can SCJ Cold Joint Spray be used in all weathers?
Yes. SCJ can be used in all weathers and applied to damp or dry surfaces, making it suitable for year-round maintenance and reinstatement work.
Is a box of 12 cans available?
Yes. This bundle includes 12 cans of SCJ. A standalone box of 12 cans is also available for teams buying SCJ separately.
What products can I use alongside SCJ Cold Joint Spray?
SCJ works alongside the UltraCrete reinstatement range. Use IRR 6mm for paths and car parks, PPR for suitable driveways and car parks, and IRR 10mm for roads and highways. Finish with Instaband ECO where overbanding is specified.

UltraCrete IRR 6mm & SCJ Bundle — 52 x 25KG Tubs + 12 Cans
This full-pallet bundle brings together 52 x 25KG tubs of UltraCrete IRR 6mm and 12 cans of SCJ Cold Joint Bitumen Spray for permanent first-time repairs to footways, footpaths, cycle tracks, car parks and driveways. It is supplied with free delivery to England & Wales.
HAPAS approved since 2002, PSV 65, suitable for repairs from 15–100mm deep, and instantly trafficable once correctly compacted.
We’re a small, family-run business — I’m Cleo, the owner, with over 25 years in the construction industry working with businesses including Tarmac and Instarmac. If you’re ordering for a planned programme or need to check whether 6mm is the right grade, call us on 0330 122 1025 and we’ll be happy to help.
What’s included?
- 52 x 25KG tubs of UltraCrete IRR 6mm, a fine-grade permanent cold-lay asphalt for footways, footpaths, cycle tracks, car parks and driveways.
- 12 x 750ml cans of SCJ Cold Joint Bitumen Spray, applied to vertical faces and the substrate before and between layers of IRR.

Why use IRR 6mm with SCJ?
SCJ is applied to the vertical edges of the excavation and the substrate before the IRR is placed. It forms the bituminous seal and tack coat that helps prevent water ingress and creates a proper bond between the repair and the surrounding surface. Re-apply it to the edges before each additional layer, then use it to seal the final joint after compaction.
The 52-tub quantity suits contractors, maintenance teams and planned repair programmes that need a full pallet of tubs rather than individual units. The tubs are resealable, which can be useful when material needs to be moved between jobs, but once opened all material should be used.

IRR 6mm is suitable for many driveway and car-park repairs when the depth and substrate are appropriate. Remove loose material, apply SCJ to the edges and base, place the IRR in suitable layers and compact it thoroughly. Contact us if you want to check a particular repair before ordering.
FAQs from the single IRR 6mm tub page
What is the difference between the tub and the bag?
Both contain 25KG of the same IRR 6mm material and once opened, all material should be used. The tub is preferred by contractors who need a stackable, rigid container that is easy to move around site and between jobs. The bag gives better pallet efficiency, with 56 bags compared with 52 tubs per pallet, and suits larger single repairs or bulk purchasing.
Can I reseal the tub and use it later?
The tub is a practical rigid format for handling and storage, but once opened all material should be used. Plan to complete the repair using the full contents of the tub.
Is Instant Road Repair 6mm a permanent repair?
Yes. When applied correctly, including the use of UltraCrete SCJ to seal the edges and substrate, IRR 6mm provides a first-time permanent reinstatement. It has been HAPAS approved since 2002.
Can I use IRR 6mm on a car park or driveway?
Yes. IRR 6mm is suitable for car parks and driveways as well as footways, footpaths and cycle tracks. For high-stress areas subject to turning or heavy braking, UltraCrete Tough Patch offers greater skid resistance.
What is the difference between 6mm and 10mm?
6mm is for footways, footpaths, cycle tracks, car parks and driveways, with a minimum depth of 15mm. 10mm is for Type 3 and 4 roads, with a minimum depth of 30mm. If your repair is shallower than 30mm, 6mm is the correct specification.
