Drain Repairs & Relining in Ludlow
No-dig drain relining and targeted excavation repairs for cracked, displaced and root-damaged drains, always preceded by a proper survey. Serving Ludlow and the surrounding villages, including Bromfield, Caynham, Ashford Carbonel, Clee Hill.
Drains fail slowly and then suddenly. A hairline crack lets in roots, a joint settles a few millimetres, and a line that worked for decades starts blocking every winter. The fix does not have to mean digging a trench through your garden or drive.
Drain repairs around Ludlow favour the least invasive method that will genuinely hold. In the town’s conservation-area streets and walled gardens, relining repairs old clay runs without excavation, and a patch liner over a single rooted joint spares a period property a trench. On the hills the argument for no-dig is practical rather than aesthetic: excavating thin, stony ground on a slope is slow, and reinstating it against winter weather is slower still.
Outside Ludlow itself, off-mains is simply how south Shropshire works. The Corvedale, the Clee slopes and the Teme valley are dotted with properties on private systems, many of them older installations that predate modern standards, and a good number still arranged in ways the 2020 rules no longer allow.

Access and practicalities around Ludlow
