The Right Fix for Every Problem
Repairing a drain doesn't always mean digging up your driveway. Modern technology allows us to fix pipes from the inside out. We categorize our repairs into three tiers based on the severity of the damage:
Patch Repairs
For small, isolated cracks and displaced joints.
CIPP Lining (No-Dig)
For creating a "new pipe within a pipe" over long runs.
Excavation
For collapsed pipes that cannot be lined.
No-Dig Technology (CIPP Lining)
"The Surgery Without the Scars"
Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining is our preferred method for most homes. We insert a resin-impregnated sleeve into the damaged pipe and cure it using air or water pressure.
- Cost Effective: Typically 30–50% cheaper than excavation.
- Speed: Installation takes hours, not days.
- Zero Mess: We access the pipe through existing manholes. No digging required.
- Longevity: Creates a structural repair with a 50-year design life.
Option B: Patch Repairs
"The Precise Fix"
Ideal for isolated issues like a single displaced joint or a small crack. We insert a localized patch that bonds to the pipe wall, sealing the defect instantly.
- Fastest Solution: Often completed in under 2 hours.
- Most Economical: Why line the whole pipe if only 10cm is damaged?
Traditional Excavation
"The Complete Renewal"
Sometimes, a pipe is too collapsed or damaged for lining. In these cases, we excavate. We pride ourselves on putting things back exactly how we found them—whether that’s concrete, tarmac, or paving.
- Full Reinstatement: We restore surfaces to a high standard.
- Upgrades: We replace old clay pipes with modern PVC.
- Transparency: We only recommend digging when absolutely necessary.

Our Repair Journey: What to Expect
From diagnosis to completion.
CCTV Survey
We insert a high-tech camera to identify the exact location, cause, and severity of the fault.
The Recommendation
We review the footage and propose the most cost-effective method (Patch, Line, or Dig).
Preparation
High-pressure water jetting cleans the pipe to remove debris and ensure a perfect bond.
Installation
We carry out the repair. For lining, we cure the resin; for excavation, we replace the pipe.
Quality Check
A final CCTV pass confirms the repair is watertight, and we issue your guarantee.
