Drain Lining in Reading

Small cracks and fractures in clay or plastic drains are common especially in houses around Whitchurch or Theale. Left untreated, these faults can let in groundwater or cause blockages.

CIPP lining is a practical way to seal these faults from the inside. It prevents leaks, helps avoid subsidence, and restores full flow without the costs of trenching.

First, we carry out a CCTV survey to assess the extent and location of damage. Pipes are then cleaned using high-pressure jetting to ensure a good bond for the liner.

A resin-soaked liner is installed in the pipe and cured (via hot water or ambient air). Once set, the new inner pipe is robust and watertight.

We provide a written guarantee of 10 years on completed drain lining repairs. This applies to both full-length CIPP relining and localised patch repairs.

Customers in places like Newbury, Hook, and Aldermaston can rely on ongoing cover for workmanship and materials, subject to normal use conditions and excluding any future structural movement.

This approach is used where pipes are cracked, leaking or have minor displacement but remain mostly intact. It’s suitable for domestic drains, commercial premises and older Berkshire properties with accessible pipework.

Drain lining is chosen when symptoms such as recurring blockages, damp patches, or CCTV evidence show defects that do not need a full dig-out and replacement.

Tree roots often grow into older drains in areas like Woodley and Pangbourne, seeking moisture through small fractures. This may cause slow drainage or backups.

After removing the intruding roots, a drain liner can be fitted to seal off entry points. This deters further root growth and extends the pipe’s service life.

Choosing drain lining avoids major disturbances to your property, as it’s a trenchless method. Gardens, driveways and structures stay intact throughout the work.

The process is usually quicker than traditional excavation-based repairs and can be completed in hours. It is suitable for both home and commercial drainage issues in Reading, Thatcham or surrounding towns.
