PATCH LINING (NO-DIG DRAIN REPAIR)


Patch lining is a trenchless method of repairing a localised defect inside a drain — such as a crack, a leaking joint, or a root entry point — without replacing the full run of pipework.

TC Drains delivers patch lining across Pickering as part of our drainage and groundworks service. We’ll typically CCTV-inspect first to confirm the location and condition, then install a resin-impregnated patch to seal and reinforce the damaged section. If the defect is too severe for patch lining (e.g. collapse or major deformation), we can move straight to excavation and reinstatement.


Trenchless repair where suitable — minimal disruption and a durable internal seal.



Targets cracks, leaking joints and root entry points to reduce repeat blockages and ingress.



Drainage + groundworks in-house — excavation and reinstatement handled if patch lining isn’t suitable.
