Expert Drain Lining in Stockport, Stockport

So, how does it actually work? Think of it like a 'pipe within a pipe.' We take a flexible, resin-impregnated liner and pull or 'invert' it into your existing damaged drain. Once it's in place, we use air or water pressure to mould it to the shape of the old pipe. After it cures and hardens—a process called CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe)—you're left with a brand new, structurally sound pipe that’s often tougher than the original. Whether it's ambient curing or heat-assisted, the result is a seamless, watertight seal that can last for decades. It's a bit like keyhole surgery for your drainage system.

Have you noticed your drains backing up every few months? In many Stockport properties, especially those with older clay pipes, tree roots are the main culprit. They find the tiniest gap in a joint and grow inside, eventually causing a total blockage or a collapse. Drain relining is the ultimate fix for this. By installing a continuous liner, we eliminate those joints where roots get in. It's also perfect for fixing displaced joints and long cracks caused by ground movement. If the damage is only in one spot, we can even install a patch lining—a localized repair that targets the specific fault without needing to line the whole run.

We never like to guess what's going on underground. Before we even think about lining, our WJA-certified engineers carry out a detailed CCTV drain survey. We send a high-tech camera down the line to see exactly what we're dealing with. Is it a simple crack, or has the pipe completely collapsed? This step is vital because if a pipe has fully 'pancaked,' lining won't work and we'd need to look at traditional drain repairs. Once we've cleared the line with high-pressure water jetting, we can be 100% sure the liner will bond perfectly. You'll get a clear look at the footage too, so you know exactly why we're recommending the fix.
