Patch Lining Details

Local repairs that prevent repeat problems

When a drain repeatedly blocks or leaks, the cause is often a specific defect catching debris or letting roots in. Patch lining seals and reinforces that section from within the pipe.

We’ll confirm suitability after inspection, explain the options clearly, and recommend the most practical long-term fix — whether that’s trenchless repair or an excavation-led repair with proper reinstatement.

Cracks and localised fractures
Leaking or failed joints
Root entry points (after root cutting)
Infiltration/ingress at a specific spot
Defects confirmed on CCTV inspection
