Drain repairs & reinstatement
Compare repair options against the defect
A suitable isolated defect may be repaired with a liner from inside the pipe. A collapse, severe displacement or other unsuitable condition may require excavation and replacement. The least disruptive option still has to address the actual cause.
Specify what will be opened and put back
Where excavation is needed, ask about the access route, materials to be lifted, removal of spoil and the proposed reinstatement. Existing paving may be difficult to match; discuss the finish and what the quote includes before work begins.
Check the outcome before closing the job
Agree how the repaired section will be checked and what records you need. If the original issue was a recurring blockage, the repair should address the identified defect rather than simply repeat the clearance. Any further work should be discussed separately.
What to discuss before booking
- Existing camera findings or photographs of the problem
- The surface above the suspected defect
- Access to the drain and space for equipment
- Required reinstatement and how the repair will be checked

Frequently asked questions
Do all drain repairs involve digging?
No. Patch lining may suit some local defects. Excavation can be necessary where the pipe has collapsed, moved badly or cannot be repaired from inside.
Is reinstatement included?
It depends on the agreed scope. Ask which surfaces and materials will be reinstated, and to what finish, when the repair is quoted.
