WHAT IS DRAIN RELINING & WHEN YOU NEED A DRAIN RELINED

Drain relining — also called drain lining — repairs a damaged pipe from the inside, with no digging. We feed a resin-saturated liner into the drain, set it hard against the old pipe wall, and it cures into a smooth, seamless new pipe within the old one. The result is a fully repaired drain that's often stronger than the original, fitted through an existing access point rather than a trench across your property.

Relining fixes the kind of damage a CCTV survey typically turns up:

  • Cracked or fractured pipes

  • Leaking or displaced joints

  • Sections starting to collapse

  • Pipes damaged by tree roots (once the roots are removed)

  • Drains that keep blocking because the pipe itself is failing

If you've had a CCTV survey that found damage, relining is usually the repair that follows.

PATCH REPAIR OR FULL RELINING?

Not every damaged drain needs the whole run relined — it depends on the extent of the damage:

Patch lining repair

For a single damaged section, we line just that part. A localised, no-dig fix that seals a crack or joint without touching the rest of the pipe. The quickest, most cost-effective option where the damage is contained.

Full relining

Where the pipe is failing along its length, we line the whole run, effectively rebuilding it from the inside.

We'll survey first and recommend the smallest repair that properly fixes the problem — not the biggest job we can sell.

HOW WE RELINE A DRAIN

  • Survey — a CCTV inspection confirms exactly where and how bad the damage is.

  • Clean and prepare — we jet the pipe clean and, where there's scale, hardened deposits or roots, mill it back to a sound surface using specialist Picote milling equipment. A liner only bonds to a clean pipe — this is the step cheaper jobs skip, and it's why their repairs fail early.

  • Line and cure — the resin liner goes in and cures hard against the old pipe wall, forming a seamless new pipe.

  • Reinstate connections — where the lined pipe has branch drains joining it, we reopen those junctions from the inside with a precision milling cutter, so everything connected still flows freely. It's the difference between a lining that works and one that blocks a connected drain.

  • Final survey — a closing camera check proves the repair.

NO-DIG VS DIGGING UP YOUR DRAINS

Excavation means a trench, disruption, and reinstating whatever was on top — patio, drive, lawn or floor. Relining does the same repair through an existing access point, usually in a fraction of the time and mess. It isn't always possible — a fully collapsed pipe with no bore left to line has to be dug up — and where that's the case we'll tell you straight and handle the excavation and repair ourselves. But wherever a drain can be relined, it's almost always the better option.

DRAIN RELINING FAQ's

See a list below of our frequently asked questions from our customers

What is drain relining and how does no-dig repair work?

We cure a new resin liner inside the damaged pipe, forming a seamless new pipe within the old one — repairing it from the inside, through an existing access point, with no trench dug across your property.

Do I need a patch or a full reline?

It depends on the damage. A single cracked section can be patch-lined; a pipe failing along its length needs the full run relined. A survey tells us which — and we recommend the smallest repair that properly fixes it.

Can any drain be relined, or does some damage need digging?

Most damaged drains can be relined. A pipe that's fully collapsed with no bore left has to be excavated — we'll tell you honestly which yours is.

How long does a relined drain last?

A properly installed liner typically lasts decades — often 50 years or more — and is frequently stronger than the original pipe.

How much does drain relining cost?

There's no call-out charge, and you'll know the fixed price before we start. It depends on the length of pipe, the access and whether it's a patch or a full reline — we'll give you a clear figure once we've surveyed it.

Do you map where the drains run as well?

Yes. As well as checking the condition inside the pipe, we can trace and map where your drains run, how deep they are and where they connect — useful before an extension, before buying a property, or before any digging. You get a clear map you can keep. Many jobs use both together: map where it is, survey what state it's in.

Do you work with residential and commercial properties?

Yes, we provide drainage services for both residential and commercial customers across Kent & Medway. We work with homeowners, landlords, businesses, restaurants, offices, retail units and industrial properties.

Can you help with overflowing drains and flooding?

Yes, our emergency drainage engineers can respond quickly to overflowing drains, flooding, blocked manholes and sewage backups. We use professional drainage equipment to identify the cause of the issue and restore safe drainage as quickly as possible.

How do I know if I need a CCTV drain survey?

You may need a CCTV drain survey if you experience recurring blocked drains, bad smells, slow drainage, suspected drain damage or ongoing drainage issues that cannot be identified externally. CCTV surveys allow us to inspect the inside of your drains and diagnose problems accurately.

Are your drainage engineers fully insured and qualified?

Yes, all of our drainage engineers are fully insured, experienced and trained to carry out professional drainage services safely and effectively across Kent & Medway.

Do you provide drain repairs?

Yes, we provide professional drain repair services for damaged, cracked and collapsed drains. After identifying the issue, we can recommend the most effective repair solution to restore your drainage system.

How can I prevent blocked drains?

Regular drainage maintenance can help prevent blocked drains. Avoid pouring grease down sinks, dispose of waste correctly, keep gutters clear and arrange routine drain cleaning or CCTV inspections if you experience recurring drainage issues.

My outside drain is blocked — is that my responsibility or the water company's?

It depends where the blockage is. A drain inside your boundary that only serves your property is usually yours; a shared or public sewer is the water company's. We'll tell you which it is when we're there, and point you to the right people if it's not yours.

What if clearing it doesn't fix it for long?

That's a sign the pipe itself needs attention. We'll survey it with a camera and recommend the right repair — root removal, relining or, as a last resort, excavation.
