What is Drain Re-lining?
Drain re-lining is a cutting-edge method for repairing damaged pipes without the need for disruptive excavations. This cost-effective process involves feeding a fresh lining into the existing pipe, before curing it to form a durable, seamless replacement.
Here is how the process works:
- Cleaning: The pipe is thoroughly cleaned to remove debris, scale and obstructions.
- Positioning: A resin-coated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe.
- Inflation: The liner is inflated to adhere tightly to the pipe walls.
- Curing: Using heat or UV light, the resin is hardened to create a robust, long-lasting lining.
This innovative technique can restore entire pipes, small sections or isolated breaks. Whether you need a complete overhaul or a targeted patch repair, our no-dig drain repair solutions are ideal for domestic, commercial and industrial properties.
Benefits of Drain Re-lining:
- Minimises disruption to your property and landscaping.
- Reduces repair costs by avoiding excavation.
- Provides a durable solution with a 10-year guarantee.
- Suitable for all types of pipes, including cement, PVC, cast iron and fibreglass.

Structural Liners
Made from a combination of polyester, silicate and epoxy, structural liners are incredibly strong and durable. They are suitable for cement, PVC, cast iron and fibreglass pipes. Methods for application include:
- CIPP-Lining (Cured-In-Place Pipe): Creates a seamless lining inside the existing pipe.
- Sliplining: Inserts a smaller pipe within the damaged one for added stability.
- Cured in Place Point Repair: Targets specific damaged sections.
- Pipe Bursting: Replaces the old pipe entirely by pulling a new one through.
- Pull-in-Place: Uses a rope to position the liner accurately.
- Spirally Wound Lining: Installs a spiral-wound liner for pipes with unusual shapes.
- Epoxy Lining: Incorporates a strong, chemical-resistant coating for extra protection.
- Patch Lining: A localised solution for minor damages.
- PU Lining: Features a polyurethane coating for added durability.
- LED Lining: These are UV-cured linings for rapid installation.
Our expertise ensures that the most appropriate method is used for your specific drainage issue, whether you’re experiencing it in Bournemouth, Southampton, Salisbury, Portsmouth or any location nearby.
