No-dig drain repairs
Where the existing pipe is suitable, drain lining and patch repair can repair defects from inside the pipe and reduce the need for excavation.
- Structural drain liners
- Localised resin patch repairs
- Radial patch repairs
- Cracked pipe repairs
- Root ingress defect repairs
- Misplaced and defective joint repairs
Pitch fibre drainage repairs
Older pitch fibre pipework can deform and lose its original shape. Depending on condition, specialist re-rounding and lining may be possible to restore internal diameter and provide a structural repair.
Drain excavation and replacement
Where a drain is collapsed, severely damaged or unsuitable for lining, excavation may be the correct solution. We can replace defective drainage, install new PVC systems, alter routes and reinstate access areas as required.
- Drain replacement
- New foul and surface water runs
- Gully installation
- Manhole works
- Interceptor removal
- Non-return valve installation
- Soakaway works
Repair based on evidence
We aim to identify the defect before recommending repair. CCTV inspection, cleaning and testing can help determine whether a no-dig repair or excavation is the most appropriate option.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is drain lining better than excavation?
It depends on the defect and condition of the existing pipe. Lining can reduce disruption when the pipe is suitable, while collapsed or badly deformed drains may need excavation.
What is a patch repair?
A patch repair is a localised resin-based internal repair used to strengthen or seal a specific defective section of drain.
Can you repair pitch fibre drains?
In suitable cases we can re-round deformed pitch fibre and install a structural liner. The pipe must first be assessed.
Do you CCTV after repairs?
Post-repair CCTV can be completed to check and record the finished repair where appropriate.
