What is drain relining?
Drain relining is a trenchless, no dig repair method that installs a new inner skin inside an existing damaged pipe.
First a flexible liner soaked in resin is inserted into the drain and carefully positioned along the length of the affected section.
It is then inflated so it presses firmly on the pipe wall, shaped to every bend, and cured until solid, forming a smooth, water tight pipe within a pipe that seals cracks and defects for years.
Drain Relining Services
Clenston Ltd offers a full range of drain relining services to repair cracked, leaking or displaced drains. After a detailed camera survey, we select the most suitable lining method for your pipe size, layout and problem.
Our priority is to provide long lasting, cost effective repairs with minimal disruption to your home, garden, driveway or business premises.
Patch drain lining
Patch drain lining is used to repair localised damage such as small cracks, root entry points or displaced joints.
We insert a short liner only where it is needed, then inflate it to press against the pipe until the resin cures. This creates a strong, sealed patch inside the drain.
Full length drain relining
Full length drain relining is ideal when longer sections of pipe are damaged or weakened. A continuous liner is installed from access point to access point, forming a new smooth internal surface.
This helps stop leaks, reduces snagging points for debris and restores structural strength to the entire drain run.
Inversion relining
Inversion relining uses air or water pressure to turn a resin soaked liner inside out as it travels along the drain.
This method lets the liner mould closely to bends and changes in diameter, making it ideal for longer or more complex pipe runs.
UV cured relining
UV cured relining uses a special liner that is hardened using ultraviolet light instead of hot water or steam.
Once the liner is in place, a UV light train passes through the pipe to cure the resin quickly, reducing waiting time and disruption.
Lateral reinstatement cutting
Lateral reinstatement cutting restores side connections after a main line has been relined. Using robotic cutting heads controlled by a camera, we carefully reopen each junction from inside the pipe.
This avoids further excavation while ensuring every branch drain is reconnected cleanly and flows correctly into the newly lined main.
Epoxy resin relining
Epoxy resin relining uses durable, chemical resistant resins to form a new pipe wall inside your existing drain.
The resin bonds to the host pipe and sets very hard, protecting against future root ingress, leaks and corrosion on many pipe materials.
Benefits of relining over digging
Relining avoids the need to dig up drives, gardens, paths and floors, so disruption, noise and mess are greatly reduced for households and businesses.
Because existing pipes stay in place, work is usually quicker and often cheaper than full excavation and replacement, with less reinstatement of surfaces, paving and landscaping afterwards.
The new liner creates a smooth, joint free surface that resists root ingress, leakage and future wear, extending the life of the drainage system, improving flow performance and reducing the risk of repeat blockages or structural failures.
