Drain repairs & relining across London
Specialist drain repairs & relining as part of our 24/7 drainage service. Same fixed pricing, same 30 to 60 minute target response, same 12-month guarantee.
Drain relining is the most cost-effective way to repair a damaged drain that doesn't require complete replacement. A felt or fibreglass liner pre-impregnated with structural resin is inserted into the existing pipe via inspection chamber, inflated to the pipe wall, then cured (with hot water, steam, UV light or ambient cure depending on resin type) to form a fully structural new pipe inside the old one.
The result: a single seamless pipe with no joints, no infiltration paths for roots, smoother bore (improved flow), and a lifetime expectancy of 50+ years. Cost is typically 40,70% less than open-cut excavation, with no garden, driveway or floor disruption. We use iLINE liners and Brawoliner systems with UV and ambient cure capability.
