No-Dig Drain Patch Lining Bank Quay & Warrington Specialists in Warrington

Patch lining is the ideal repair method for fixing isolated defects within a drain pipe. It’s perfectly suitable for:

• Cracks, fractures, and holes.
• Leaking or open pipe joints.
• Damage caused by tree root infiltration.
• Preventing further damage and reinforcing weak spots.
  This technique is incredibly versatile. We use a range of different packers and liners suitable for pipes of almost any diameter, from small domestic lines to larger commercial systems. The flexible equipment we use can navigate most bends, meaning we can repair sections of pipe that are not perfectly straight.

The finished repair is incredibly tough. The cured resin patch creates a new structural layer that is often stronger than the original pipe itself. It’s completely waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and provides a formidable barrier against any future tree root entry at that spot.

A packer is the essential piece of equipment that makes no-dig repairs possible. It's a strong, inflatable cylinder or tube. We wrap the resin-soaked fibreglass patch around the deflated packer, push it into the pipe, and then inflate it with air. This pressure moulds the patch perfectly to the inside of the damaged pipe while it sets hard. We have a complete range of packers for pipes of different diameters and can even repair sections with bends.

Yes. While some systems are only suitable for straight pipes, we use advanced, flexible packers that are designed to navigate around bends. As long as our CCTV camera can get through, we can usually get a packer to the problem area to complete the repair without issue.

A patch repair is a permanent solution, not a temporary fix. The materials used are designed to last for decades, giving you complete confidence that the problem is solved for good.

The only way to know for certain is with a CCTV drain survey. An inspection allows us to see the exact condition of the pipe, measure its diameter, and determine if a localised patch is the right approach or if a different lining technique is needed. This diagnostic step is vital to a successful, long-lasting repair.
