What is drain relining?
Drain relining is a no-dig repair method that installs a new lining inside damaged pipes, helping drainage systems work properly again.
First, a flexible liner soaked in resin is placed into the drain and positioned along the damaged section.
It is then inflated against the pipe wall, shaped around bends, and cured until solid. This forms a smooth pipe inside the old pipe, sealing cracks, leaks, and defects for years.
Drain Relining Services
Clenston Ltd offers a full range of drain repair services to fix cracked, leaking, or displaced drains. After CCTV drain surveys and drain inspections, we choose the best drain lining method for the pipe size, layout, and problem.
Our priority is to provide long-lasting drainage solutions and cost-effective repairs with minimal disruption to your home, garden, driveway, or business premises.
Patch drain lining
Patch lining is used to repair local damage such as cracks, tree root ingress, or displaced joints.
We place a short liner only where it is needed, then inflate it until the resin cures. This creates a strong patch inside the drain and restores full functionality.
Full length drain relining
Full length drain relining is ideal when longer sections of pipe are damaged or weak. A continuous lining is installed from access point to access point, creating a new smooth inner surface.
This helps stop leaks, reduces debris build-up, and restores strength to the full drain run.
Inversion relining
Inversion relining uses air or water pressure to turn a resin liner inside out as it travels along the drain.
This pipe relining method moulds closely to bends and changes in diameter, making it suitable for longer or more complex pipes.
UV cured relining
UV cured relining uses a special liner that is hardened with ultraviolet light instead of hot water or steam.
Once the liner is in place, a CCTV-guided light train cures 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 camera-controlled cutting heads, we carefully reopen each junction from inside the pipe.
This avoids further digging while ensuring every branch drain is reconnected cleanly and flows into the newly lined sewer.
Epoxy resin relining
Epoxy resin relining uses durable resins to form a new pipe wall inside your existing drain.
The resin bonds to the host pipe and sets hard, protecting sewer pipes against future root ingress, leaks, corrosion, and tree roots 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 reduced for residential customers and commercial clients.
Because existing pipes stay in place, work is often quicker and cheaper than full excavation and replacing damaged sections, with less repair work to surfaces afterwards.
The new liner creates a smooth, joint-free surface that resists root damage, leaks, and future wear. It improves drainage flow, supports drainage systems, and reduces repeat blockages or structural damage.
