Drain Relining
No-dig drain repair using advanced relining technology.
- Vetted contractors
- Fully insured
- Commercial & site work specialists
The scope of drain relining varies by site, but the objective is consistent: reduce ambiguity, choose a practical method, and deliver a result that holds up under real operating conditions.
Drain relining is a trenchless repair method that creates a new pipe within the existing damaged drain. A resin-saturated liner is inserted into the pipe and cured in place, forming a seamless, jointless new pipe. This no-dig approach is faster, less disruptive, and often more cost-effective than traditional excavation.
That usually translates into clearer procurement decisions: fewer assumptions, better-aligned trades, and a documented path if priorities change mid-programme.

When you might need Drain Relining
These scenarios are where commissioning work early tends to save time, cost, and disruption across the programme.
Most clients request this service when recurring issues, changing site requirements, or planned development work make a straightforward fix unlikely without proper assessment.
It is particularly useful where project teams need clear options, documented next steps, and a delivery plan that aligns with other trades and milestones. At this stage, teams usually need clear commercial options before committing to delivery windows and budgets.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does drain relining last?
- Relined drains have a design life of 50+ years. The seamless liner is resistant to root ingress, corrosion, and joint failure.
- Is drain relining cheaper than excavation?
- Yes — relining typically costs 30–60% less than excavation because it avoids digging, surface reinstatement, and longer labour times.
- Can all drains be relined?
- Most drains 100mm–300mm diameter can be relined if they retain their circular shape. A CCTV survey determines suitability.
- What practical factors should be reviewed first?
- Review drain condition, access to runs, and whether related repair work is needed early to keep scope realistic and avoid unnecessary rework.
