Drain Relining
We survey damaged drains and repair suitable defects with relining, patch repairs or excavation. The pipe condition determines the method, and the limits of the repair are made clear before work begins.

Drain Repair
Drain repair for damaged pipework using patch repairs, relining or excavation according to the defect found.
View serviceDrain relining guided by the pipe condition
Repeated blockages, root entry or a leaking joint do not automatically mean the whole drain needs replacing. We inspect the run and recommend a patch, longer liner or excavation according to the damage found.
Our services
We investigate and repair drainage serving homes, managed properties and commercial premises. View the services below or contact us about the problem.

Repair method
Choosing the right repair for the damaged pipe
Relining can seal suitable cracks and joints and reinforce the repaired section. It will not correct every collapse, severe displacement or poor fall, so those limitations are considered before work is recommended.

Survey and repair process
When drain lining may be suitable
The prepared pipe must retain a usable bore and enough support for the selected liner.
- Pipe conditionCracks, open joints, deformation and collapse are assessed against what an internal repair can correct.
- Access and pipe geometryChambers, bends, diameter changes and branch connections affect preparation and installation.
- Repair methodThe findings determine whether a local patch, longer liner or excavation is the appropriate repair.
- Completed workThe accessible finished repair and affected connections are inspected, with any specified testing reported separately.
Drain defects
Drain problems that may be suitable for relining
Cracks, leaking joints and root entry can often be repaired from inside the drain if the surrounding pipe remains suitable. CCTV inspection establishes the damage and any other defects that may affect the repair.
Homes and commercial premises
Drain repairs for occupied properties
Drain repairs at occupied premises need to account for the facilities connected to the affected run. Temporary restrictions and access are planned around property use, while the pipe condition still determines the repair method.
Repair processHow we choose a drain repair
Drain Relining
Drain relining depends on the pipe condition
The damaged section needs a usable bore and enough support for the selected liner. Collapse or loss of support may require excavation.
Repair process
How drain relining is completed
The survey identifies the defect. The pipe is then prepared, the suitable repair installed and the finished section inspected before it returns to normal use.
Inspect the drain
We locate the damage and assess the accessible pipe around it.
Prepare the pipe
Cleaning and any necessary root removal provide a sound surface for the selected repair.
Install the repair
The patch or liner is positioned and cured in accordance with the selected system.
Inspect the completed work
We check the accessible finish, affected connections and any remaining limitations.

Read guidanceDrain relining based on careful survey and repair work
Drain Relining provides CCTV surveys and drain repairs for homeowners, landlords, property managers and commercial premises. We inspect the damaged pipe before recommending work, because the defect and condition of the surrounding run decide whether a local patch, longer liner or excavation is appropriate. Access, pipe shape and connected branches are considered as part of that decision. The recommendation sets out what the repair will address and any limitation found during inspection. At occupied properties, the work is arranged around the affected facilities, and the accessible finished section is checked before completion. The same survey-led approach is used for a single damaged joint and for a longer section of drainage.
Drain relining questions
Drain relining FAQs
Common questions about drain surveys, lining and repair.
Can every damaged drain be relined?
No. Collapse, severe displacement, unsuitable geometry or poor falls may require excavation. CCTV findings show whether an internal repair is suitable.
Does drain relining always avoid excavation?
No. Suitable pipework can often be repaired through existing access, but local excavation may still be needed for access or damage that a liner cannot correct.
Can toilets and sinks be used during relining?
Connected facilities may need to remain out of use while the pipe is prepared and the liner cures. Any temporary restriction is made clear before the repair starts.
How is the completed repair checked?
We inspect the accessible repaired section and affected connections. Any testing specified for the job is reported separately.
