Precise CCTV Drain Surveys to Diagnose the Problem
Before any repair work begins, we carry out a professional CCTV drain survey. This allows us to:
- Locate cracks, fractures, and collapsed sections
- Detect early signs of pipe movement or displacement
- Identify root ingress and structural defects
- Confirm whether lining or excavation is needed

No-Dig Drain Lining: The Fastest Way to Repair Damaged Drains
Our preferred method for most repair jobs is drain lining, a no-dig solution that restores the pipe’s structure from the inside. It eliminates the need to excavate your driveway, patio, garden, or flooring.
Benefits of no-dig drain lining:
- No disruption to your home or business
- Restores structural integrity of old clay pipes
- Prevents future leaks and root ingress
- Quicker and more affordable than excavation
- Suitable for most residential and commercial properties
When Excavation Is Necessary
If the CCTV survey shows that your drain has completely collapsed, lining isn’t possible. In these cases, our trained excavation team:
- Safely exposes the damaged pipe
- Removes broken or collapsed sections
- Installs new, durable pipework
- Restores the surrounding ground to its original condition
Where possible, we combine both methods, replacing only the damaged section and lining the rest to save you money and avoid unnecessary digging.

FAQs
Q1. How do I know if my drain needs repairing?
Common signs include repeated blockages, slow drainage, foul smells, damp patches, gurgling noises, or visible ground movement. A CCTV survey is the most accurate way to diagnose the issue.
Q2. What is no-dig drain lining and how does it work?
Drain lining involves inserting a resin-coated liner inside the damaged pipe. Once cured, it forms a new, strong pipe within the old one, without any digging.
Q3. Can tree roots damage drains?
Yes. Roots often enter through weakened pipe joints or cracks. If not treated early, they can cause severe blockages or structural damage. Lining helps prevent roots from returning.
Q4. Do you handle emergency drain repairs in London and Surrey?
Absolutely. We provide rapid emergency drain repairs, including collapsed drains, severe blockages, and urgent pipework issues.
Q5. Is excavation always required for drain repairs?
No. Most drains can be fixed using no-dig lining. Excavation is only needed if the pipe has fully collapsed or the damage is too extensive to line.
