Pipe Relining across Exeter

Pipe relining is a no-dig repair method that fixes damaged drains without excavation. Your engineer fits a flexible liner, soaked in a tough resin, into the damaged pipe, then inflates it against the pipe walls. The resin sets hard within a few hours. Once set, it forms a smooth pipe with no joints inside the old one, sealing cracks, bridging gaps at moved joints, and blocking root entry points. The result is, in effect, a new pipe inside the old one, built to last 50 years or more. Lining suits cracks, breaks, root damage, moved joints, and small areas of corrosion in pipes from 100mm to 300mm wide. It works on all common pipe types, including clay, concrete, cast iron, and plastic. Unlike digging, it leaves your garden, driveway, patio, or floors untouched. There's no need to lift and replace paving, and the work often finishes in a single day. Your engineer runs a camera check before and after lining, to make sure the fix is precise and the finished pipe is fault-free.

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.
CCTV Assessment
We check the damaged pipe by camera to map the exact spot, length, and type of damage, since that tells us whether lining will work and what liner we need.
2.
Pipe Preparation
The pipe is cleaned by high-pressure jetting to remove build-up, root bits, and debris, since a clean pipe is key for the resin to stick properly.
3.
Liner Installation
The resin-soaked liner is pulled or turned into place inside the pipe, then inflated against the pipe walls with air, since that's what shapes it to the pipe exactly.
4.
Curing and Verification
The resin sets hard to form a strong new lining. A final camera check still confirms it's smooth, sits right, and has no faults, and you get before-and-after footage.

Pricing guide

The cost of pipe lining depends on the pipe's width, length, and how easy it is to reach. A short, local repair costs less than a longer run or a wider pipe. Request a fast, fixed-price quote online. Once you factor in the cost of putting the surface back, lining is often much cheaper than digging.

Pipe Relining — frequently asked questions

How long does pipe relining last?

A properly fitted pipe lining is built to last 50 years or more, since the set resin liner resists roots, corrosion, and chemicals. We give a written guarantee on all lining work as standard.

Can all damaged pipes be relined?

Lining suits most pipe damage, including cracks, breaks, root growth, and moved joints. However, a pipe that has fully collapsed or lost its round shape may need digging instead. A camera check tells us which applies.

Is pipe relining disruptive to my property?

Lining causes very little disruption, since all the work is done through existing manholes and access points with no digging needed. Your garden, driveway, and paving stay untouched, and most jobs finish within a single day.
