Drain Lining

Drain lining repairs a damaged pipe from the inside: a resin-saturated liner is inserted, inflated against the pipe wall and cured into a smooth, structural new pipe — no excavation over the run at all.

Cracks, open joints, root damage and wear all disappear behind the liner. It's the reason most modern drain repairs never involve a digger.

What the work involves

• CCTV survey and thorough cleaning/descaling of the host pipe
• Liner sized and impregnated for the run or a localised patch
• Inversion or winched insertion, then ambient/hot cure
• Post-lining CCTV proving the finished bore

When you need it

• Cracked or fractured pipes still holding their shape
• Root ingress at joints (after cutting the roots out)
• Leaking joints under buildings, drives or gardens
• Pre-empting failure in ageing but accessible runs

Drain Lining — common questions

How long does lining last?

Design life is typically 50 years plus — cured liners are structural, not cosmetic.

Can you line around bends?

Yes — modern liners negotiate bends, and short patch liners target single defects precisely.

When won't lining work?

Collapsed or badly deformed pipe has nothing round left to line against — that is when targeted excavation is the right method. The survey tells you which side you're on.
