No-Dig Drain Lining & Patch Repair in Blackpool
Structural Pipe Repairs Without the Mess of Excavation
Discovering a cracked or leaking drain used to mean one thing: diggers in the garden and a ruined driveway. At Drainage Experts, we provide a modern, trenchless alternative.
Drain lining (also known as CIPP – Cured-In-Place Pipe) and patch repairs allow us to fix structural damage from the inside out. By creating a brand-new pipe within your existing one, we restore your drainage system to full working order without the need for costly and messy excavation. All repairs are first assessed using a CCTV drain survey, ensuring the correct solution is applied first time.
How Does Drain Lining Work?
The process is a highly effective, non-invasive way to repair pipes that have suffered from age, ground movement, or root ingress damage, without the need for disruptive excavation.
-
Step 1: CCTV Diagnosis: We never guess. We carry out a CCTV drain survey using high-definition camera equipment to pinpoint the exact location, cause, and severity of the fault.
-
Step 2: Cleaning & Preparation: The pipe is thoroughly cleaned using high-pressure water jetting to remove grease, scale, silt, and debris. This ensures the liner bonds perfectly to the existing pipe.
-
Step 3: Liner Installation: A flexible, resin-saturated liner is carefully inserted into the damaged drain. Using controlled air or water pressure, the liner is inverted and pressed firmly against the internal pipe walls.
-
Step 4: Curing: Once in position, the resin cures and hardens, forming a seamless, waterproof, and structurally reinforced pipe within the original—fully restoring flow and integrity.
Patch Repairs: Targeted Solutions
Not every damaged pipe requires a full-length liner. If our CCTV survey identifies a single displaced joint or a small hole caused by tree root ingress, we can carry out a patch repair.
This is a targeted form of no-dig drain lining, where a short, resin-impregnated patch is positioned precisely over the damaged section and inflated in place. Once cured, it creates a watertight seal that restores structural integrity—offering a faster and more cost-effective solution to stop leaks and prevent further deterioration or pipe collapse.

Frequently Asked Questions About No-Dig Drain Lining & Patch Repair in Blackpool
No-dig drain lining (also known as cured-in-place pipe lining) is a trenchless repair method that restores damaged drains from the inside without excavation. A resin-soaked liner is inserted and cured, creating a new pipe within the existing one.
Patch repair is ideal for isolated defects such as cracks, small collapses, joint displacement, or root ingress. Instead of lining the entire pipe, we repair only the damaged section—making it faster and more cost-effective.
No. Both drain lining and patch repairs are completely trenchless. Access is usually gained through existing manholes, meaning no digging up gardens, driveways, or floors.
We first carry out a CCTV drain survey to assess the condition of the pipework. This allows us to confirm whether lining or patch repair is suitable and provide a fixed quote.
Most patch repairs can be completed within a few hours. Full drain lining is often completed the same day, depending on pipe length and access. Disruption is kept to an absolute minimum.
