Drain Repairs & Relining in Shropshire
No-dig drain relining and targeted excavation repairs for cracked, displaced and root-damaged drains, always preceded by a proper survey.
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.
Where the pipe is structurally sound enough, drains can be repaired from the inside by relining: a resin-impregnated liner is inserted into the pipe and cured in place, creating a new, jointless pipe within the old one. Localised damage can often be fixed with a patch liner over just the defective section. No-dig repairs mean no ruined lawns, no broken driveways, and usually a single day of work.
Where a line has genuinely collapsed or back-fallen, excavation is the honest answer, and done well it means digging only the section that needs it. Every repair should start from CCTV evidence, so you are paying to fix a known defect rather than to explore.
What the service includes
- Cured-in-place relining of damaged foul and surface water drains
- Localised patch repairs over single defects
- Root removal followed by lining to keep them out permanently
- Targeted excavation and replacement where relining is not viable
- Post-repair CCTV so you can see the finished result
- Repairs to private sewers, septic pipework and drainage field feeds
Relining versus digging
Relining wins on disruption, speed and usually cost when the host pipe still holds its shape. Excavation wins when the pipe has collapsed, lost its fall, or is so deformed a liner cannot seat. A survey tells you which side of that line your drain is on before any money is committed.
Insurance may cover it
Accidental damage to underground services is covered by many buildings insurance policies. It is worth asking for the survey report and footage in a form that supports a claim, and worth checking your policy before paying for the repair yourself.
What gets repaired
Displaced joints, root ingress and fractured sections are the usual causes. A survey locates them before anyone starts digging.

Frequently asked questions
How long does relining last?
A properly installed cured-in-place liner is a structural repair with a design life of decades, comparable to new pipework.
Will you need to dig up my drive?
Usually not. Liners are installed through existing access points such as manholes and rodding eyes. Excavation is reserved for collapsed or badly deformed sections that a liner cannot fix.
How disruptive is the work?
Most domestic relining jobs are completed in a day, and you can normally use your drains again the same evening once the liner has cured.
