Expert Drain Lining in New Mills, Derbyshire

So, how does it actually work? We use something called a resin-impregnated liner. Essentially, we take a felt sleeve soaked in a special epoxy resin and ‘invert’ it into your damaged pipe using air or water pressure. Once it’s in place, the resin hardens (or cures), creating a brand-new, seamless pipe inside the old one. Whether you’ve got a small crack that needs a ‘patch liner’ or a long run of pipe that’s seen better days, this CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) method restores the structural integrity of your drainage system for decades to come.

Living around the High Peak, we see a lot of older properties where tree roots have found their way into the drainage joints. Roots love the moisture inside a drain, and once they’re in, they’ll keep growing until the pipe blocks or splits. In the past, you’d have to dig the whole thing up. Now, we use high-pressure water jetting to clear the roots out and then install a drain liner. This seals the joints and creates a smooth, tough barrier that roots simply cannot get through. It’s a permanent fix for a recurring headache.

We never guess what’s going on underground. Before we even think about lining a drain, we send down our high-definition cameras to get a ‘drain’s-eye view’ of the situation. This CCTV drain survey tells us exactly where the damage is and if the pipe is a good candidate for relining. We’ll show you the footage, explain the options, and give you a clear, upfront quote. If the drain has completely collapsed, we can still handle the excavation, but for most cracks and leaks, lining is the faster and more affordable way to go.
