No-Dig Drain Repair & Relining Specialists in Blackpool & Lancashire
Permanent, Trenchless Drain Repairs to Fix Cracks, Breaks, and Root Ingress
Traditional drain repair involves expensive, destructive excavation, which means digging trenches, tearing up gardens, driveways, or patios. As your local drainage experts in Blackpool, we specialize in advanced, modern, trenchless repair solutions that deliver a permanent, guaranteed fix with minimal disruption and often at a fraction of the cost. Our primary method, drain relining, effectively creates a new pipe within the old one, following industry best practices outlined by the UK Water Industry and other leading drainage authorities.
Why Avoid Excavation? Choose Trenchless Technology
Excavation is rarely the best solution unless the damage is severe and inaccessible. Our no-dig drain repair methods offer superior advantages and are fully compliant with WRC industry standards:
-
Zero Disruption: We work primarily from access points, leaving your landscaping and property intact. No digging up driveways, patios, or gardens.
-
Cost Efficiency: Saves the cost of groundwork, landscaping restoration, and machinery hire when compared to traditional excavation-based repairs.
-
Faster Completion: Most patch repairs and full-length drain relining are completed within a single day, compared to multiple days for excavation.
-
Enhanced Durability: The new epoxy resin lining is joint-free, corrosion-resistant, and often stronger than the original pipework, meeting guidance from the Water Industry UK.
Our Permanent No-Dig Repair Solutions
1. Drain Relining (Cured-In-Place Pipe – CIPP)
Relining is ideal for pipes with extensive cracking, multiple displaced joints, or long sections of damage, such as those caused by years of minor ground movement. Our CIPP drain relining service involves inserting a flexible, resin-impregnated sleeve into the damaged pipe. This sleeve is then inflated and cured to form a seamless, new, and exceptionally durable lining inside the old structure—fully compliant with WRC-approved standards.
2. Patch Repair (Structural Spot Repair)
For isolated defects like a single crack, a small hole, or a specific entry point for roots, we use structural patch repair. This involves targeting the exact damaged area, confirmed via our CCTV drain survey, and installing a smaller, rigid glass fibre patch impregnated with resin. Once cured, it forms a robust, localised, permanent seal.
3. Root Ingress Removal & Repair
Tree roots are a common cause of drain failure, particularly in older pipe systems around Lytham and Poulton. We use high-pressure water jetting (HPWJ) to safely cut away the roots, followed by relining or patch repair to seal the entry point permanently. This process follows best practices recommended by the UK Water Industry to prevent future root intrusion.
The Drain Repair Process: Diagnosis to Guarantee
You can only fix a drain permanently if you know exactly what is wrong and where the damage lies. Our process follows approved WRC industry standards for accuracy and reliability.
-
CCTV Diagnosis: We always begin with a WRC-standard CCTV drain survey to precisely locate the defect, measure the required repair length, and determine the pipe diameter.
-
Preparation: The pipe section is cleaned, often using high-pressure water jetting (HPWJ), to ensure the new lining or patch adheres perfectly.
-
Installation: The chosen trenchless solution—full relining or structural patch repair—is installed according to the site requirements.
-
Curing & Testing: The resin is cured (usually with hot water or ambient air), followed by a final CCTV inspection and flow test to verify the repair meets Water Industry guidelines.
-
Guaranteed Repair: All our permanent drain repairs are fully guaranteed against future failure for your peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions About No-Dig Drain Repair & Relining
No-dig drain repair—also known as trenchless relining—allows damaged pipes to be fixed internally without excavating driveways, gardens, or floors. A resin-impregnated liner is inserted into the pipe and cured in place, creating a brand-new pipe within the old one.
No-dig relining is ideal for cracks, leaks, displaced joints, corrosion, root ingress, and partial collapses. It restores structural integrity without major disruption and is suitable for clay, cast iron, PVC, and concrete drainage systems.
Most no-dig relining projects in Blackpool and Lancashire can be completed within a few hours. Even larger pipe runs are typically repaired in the same day, meaning minimal downtime and no excavation-related mess.
Yes. A professionally installed liner provides a durable, watertight, and root-resistant barrier designed to last 50+ years. It often outperforms traditional pipe materials and comes with a full warranty for peace of mind.
No-dig solutions can repair most structural defects, but completely collapsed sections may require a small targeted excavation first. We always perform a CCTV camera inspection to determine the best approach before any work begins.
Absolutely. Relining typically costs significantly less than traditional excavation due to reduced labour, no reinstatement costs, and faster completion times. It avoids the need to dig up driveways, roads, or landscaped areas—saving time and money.
We provide specialist trenchless drain repair services across the entire Lancashire region, including Blackpool, Preston, Lytham St Annes, Fleetwood, Poulton-le-Fylde, and all surrounding towns and villages.
