Drain Repairs

A damaged drain rarely needs your garden dug up. No-dig relining rebuilds the pipe from the inside, in a day, with a guarantee behind it.

Drain Repairs

Cracked, collapsed or misaligned drains, repaired with or without digging.

Repairs range from patch lining a single crack to excavating and replacing a damaged section. Where possible we use no-dig techniques — drain relining and CIPP lining — which are faster, less disruptive and often less expensive than excavation.

  • Drain relining (no-dig repair)
  • CIPP patch lining
  • Drain joint sealing
  • Excavation and section replacement where required

How no-dig relining works

A resin-saturated liner is fed into the existing pipe and cured in place, forming a new seamless pipe inside the old one. It seals cracks and joints, blocks root re-entry and typically improves flow. Most domestic reline jobs are completed in a single day.

Patch lining vs full lining

A short patch is ideal for a single cracked joint or localised fracture. A full liner suits a run with multiple defects or extensive root damage. The CCTV survey tells us which is appropriate — and we show you the footage.

When excavation is unavoidable

Fully collapsed pipework, severe deformation or a missing section cannot be lined. In those cases we excavate the minimum area required, replace the section, reinstate the surface and keep disruption as short as possible.

Signs of a Damaged Drain

Structural damage tends to announce itself gradually. These are the signs that point to the pipe itself rather than a simple blockage.

  • Blockages that return to the same point on the run
  • Cracked or fractured pipework seen on CCTV
  • Displaced or open joints letting debris and roots in
  • A collapsed section, or a sunken path, lawn or driveway
  • Water escaping into the ground, or damp at a wall base
  • Root-damaged pipework near mature trees

How a Drain Repair Is Carried Out

  1. 1

    Survey the run

    A camera inspection establishes what the defect is, exactly where it sits and how much of the pipe is affected. Repairs quoted without this are guesswork.

  2. 2

    Set out the options

    Local repair, a lined section or replacement pipework — with the reasoning, disruption and cost of each explained before you decide.

  3. 3

    Carry out the repair

    Either a no-dig liner cured inside the existing pipe, or a minimal excavation to replace the damaged section, joint or fitting.

  4. 4

    Reinstate and re-check

    Surfaces are made good where we have excavated, and a final camera pass confirms the run is continuous and flowing correctly.

Drain repair vs drain relining

Relining is a repair method, not a universal one. Where a pipe is cracked or has open joints but still holds its shape, drain relining seals it from the inside with no excavation. Where a section has collapsed, deformed badly or gone missing — or where the defect is a gully, junction or chamber — excavation and replacement is the correct repair. The survey footage decides which applies, and we show it to you.
