Cast Iron Pipework

While modern plumbing has largely moved away from cast iron, it remains a common feature in older buildings throughout the southeast. London Drainage Services (LDS) specialises in the installation, repair, and maintenance of cast iron pipework for both residential and commercial properties. Our team has extensive experience handling cast iron piping for above and below ground installations, ensuring these systems remain functional and efficient.

Cast iron pipework is frequently found in historic properties such as colleges, hospitals, and schools, where it requires careful maintenance to avoid issues like furring and internal scaling, which can lead to blockages. At LDS, we provide cost-effective solutions to clean, repair, or replace cast iron sections, preserving the structural integrity of these essential drainage systems. Whether the task involves small repairs or larger installations, our engineers are skilled in delivering high-quality service for all cast iron pipework needs.

Our cast iron pipework services are designed to restore, repair, and maintain cast iron drainage systems, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of your drainage installation. Cast iron pipework is durable and commonly used in older properties, but it requires specialised handling to address corrosion, leaks, and joint deterioration effectively. Our experienced team begins by conducting a thorough inspection of the pipework, identifying any areas affected by rust, cracks, or wear.

Once the inspection is complete, we select the most appropriate repair method. For minor issues, we may use relining or patching to reinforce the pipework from within, avoiding the need for full pipe replacement. Where more extensive repairs are required, our team carefully removes and replaces damaged sections, ensuring the new materials are seamlessly integrated with the existing structure. We use specialised tools and techniques to prevent further damage during repairs and to maintain the original quality and function of the cast iron pipes.

After repairs, we perform a final inspection to confirm that the drainage installation is operating smoothly and securely. Our cast iron pipework services offer a reliable, cost-effective solution for property owners looking to maintain or restore their cast iron drainage systems, preserving both their functionality and historical value.
