Drain repairs, usually without digging
Most cracked and root-damaged pipes can be lined from the inside, so your patio, drive and garden stay where they are.

A patch liner repairs a single defect, such as a cracked joint or a root entry point. A full-length liner repairs a whole run. Both are resin-impregnated sleeves pulled into the pipe, inflated and left to cure, giving a smooth new pipe inside the old one.
Where a pipe has collapsed or is badly out of line, we excavate and replace the length with new plastic pipe, bedded in pea gravel and inspected before backfilling. Any work on a shared drain is agreed with the water company first.
What's included
Patch and full-length liners fitted from the inspection chamber.
New pipe laid on a gravel bed, tested and backfilled.
So you and your insurer can see the repair.

A cracked drain under a patio, relined in a morning
A survey found two cracked joints under a new sandstone patio in Boxmoor. Nikhil fitted two patch liners from the inspection chamber, and not a single slab was lifted.

Straight answers on price, timing and who is responsible for which drain. If your question is not here, call the office.
Is relining as good as replacing the pipe?
For cracks, open joints and root damage, yes. The liner is guaranteed for ten years and has a design life of around fifty. A collapsed or badly sagging pipe needs to be dug up and replaced.
Will my home insurance pay?
Many policies cover accidental damage to underground pipes. We provide the survey and footage your insurer needs to assess the claim.
