Pipe Relining across Stockport

Pipe relining is a trenchless repair method that fixes damaged drains without digging. A flexible liner soaked in structural resin goes into the damaged pipe, and we inflate it against the pipe walls. The resin typically cures within a few hours. It then forms a smooth, jointless pipe inside the original pipe. This seals cracks, bridges gaps at displaced joints and blocks root entry points.

The result is effectively a new pipe inside the old one. It has a design life of 50 years or more. It suits cracks, fractures, root damage, joint displacement and localised corrosion in pipes from 100mm to 300mm in diameter. It works on all common pipe materials, including clay, concrete, cast iron and plastic.

The main advantage over digging is that your garden, driveway, patio and indoor floors stay untouched. You do not need to remove and replace hard landscaping. The work typically finishes in a single day. We use CCTV inspection before and after relining, because this makes sure the repair is precise. The finished lining has no defects.

Signs you need pipe relining help

  • ✓ A CCTV survey has identified cracks, fractures, or displaced joints in your underground drainage
  • ✓ Tree roots are entering your pipes through damaged joints and causing recurring blockages
  • ✓ Damp patches or subsidence near drainage routes suggest leaking pipes underground
  • ✓ Your drains are beneath a patio, driveway, or extension where excavation would be extremely disruptive
  • ✓ You want a long-lasting repair without the cost and disruption of digging up and replacing pipes

Our process

  1. 1.
    CCTV Assessment

    We survey the damaged pipe to map the exact location, length and nature of the damage. This shows whether relining suits the job and which liner specification we need.

  2. 2.
    Pipe Preparation

    We clean the pipe by high-pressure jetting to remove deposits, root fragments and debris. A clean pipe surface is essential, because the resin must bond properly.

  3. 3.
    Liner Installation

    We pull or invert the resin-saturated liner into position inside the pipe. Then we inflate it against the pipe walls with air pressure, and it fits the pipe shape precisely.

  4. 4.
    Curing and Verification

    The resin cures into a rigid structural lining. A final CCTV inspection confirms the lining is smooth. It also confirms the lining sits in the right position and has no defects. You get before-and-after footage.

Pricing guide

The cost of pipe relining depends on pipe diameter, length and access. Short, localised repairs involve less work than longer runs or wider pipes, since these need more liner and time.

Pipe Relining — frequently asked questions

How long does pipe relining last?

A properly installed pipe reline has a design life of 50 years or more. The cured resin liner lasts this long because it resists root ingress, corrosion and chemical attack. We give a written guarantee on all relining work as standard.

Can all damaged pipes be relined?

This method suits most pipe damage. This includes cracks, fractures, root intrusion and displaced joints. However, pipes that have collapsed completely or lost their round shape may need digging instead. A CCTV survey shows whether it suits your damage.

Is pipe relining disruptive to my property?

This method causes little disruption. Because we do all work through existing manholes and access points, we need no digging. Your garden, driveway and landscaping stay untouched. Most jobs finish within a single day.
