Relining and Patch Repairs

About Our Relining and Patch Repairs

When a drainage system requires repairs but excavation isn’t necessary, London Drainage Services (LDS) offers efficient, no-dig solutions through relining and patch repairs. These methods allow our engineers to repair damaged sections of pipework without disrupting your property, addressing fractures, partial collapses, leaking joints, and root intrusion.

Relining involves installing a durable lining that bonds to the inside of the existing pipe, creating a “pipe within a pipe” to restore structural integrity and support water flow. For targeted repairs, patch lining provides a quick and effective fix. Our team can reline pipes from 100mm up to 1.5-metre culverts, or use patch liners for pipes with diameters as small as 60mm. Each solution is tailored to the specific needs of your drainage system, providing a fast and reliable fix without excavation.

How Our Relining and Patch Repairs Services Work

Our relining and patch repair services provide a seamless solution to restore and strengthen your drainage installation. The process begins with a detailed CCTV survey, allowing us to identify damaged or compromised sections within your drainage system. This inspection gives us a clear view of the cracks, leaks, or areas requiring reinforcement, ensuring precise and targeted repairs.

Once the issues are located, we proceed with either a full-length liner or a smaller patch, depending on the extent of the damage. Using a resin-based liner, we insert it into the affected section, where it expands and adheres to the pipe’s interior. This liner then hardens, creating a smooth, durable layer that effectively seals any leaks and prevents further deterioration. For smaller areas, our patch repair technique focuses specifically on isolated damage, offering a quick, efficient fix without needing extensive work.

This no-dig method means minimal disruption, preserving your property while maintaining the efficiency of your drainage installation. After the repair, we conduct a final CCTV inspection to ensure everything is sealed and secure. Our relining and patch repairs are an economical choice to reinforce your drainage system, providing long-lasting results without the mess of traditional methods.
