No-dig drain patch liner repair — Enfield, Herts, Essex & London
Cracked clay drain, displaced joint, root ingress on the CCTV. No-dig patch liner inflates, cures in place, drain back to full flow.
Patch lining is the proper alternative to ripping up your driveway. CCTV survey first to confirm the defect is patchable (one or two cracks, no full collapse), then we saturate a fibreglass patch with resin, position it on a packer at the defect, inflate, leave it to ambient-cure for 30 minutes, and pull the packer back through a smooth, glossy, structurally-bonded liner. Done.

How it works
- Step 1
CCTV survey
Camera down the drain, defect located to within 5cm of the chamber, decision: patch, multiple patches, full liner, or excavation.
- Step 2
Prep the run
Drain jetted clean, any debris flushed, surface dry enough for the resin to bond.
- Step 3
Patch in
Fibreglass patch saturated with two-part ambient-cure resin, wrapped on the packer, pulled to defect, inflated to seat against the pipe wall.
- Step 4
Cure & verify
30 minutes ambient cure (longer in winter), packer deflated and withdrawn, post-cure CCTV records a smooth glossy bore. Stills and footage go to the customer with a 10-year materials warranty.

FAQs
How much is a patch liner repair vs a dig-up?
Patch from £650, full dig-and-relay from £950 per metre plus reinstatement. On a typical 5m driveway dig you'd be £6k-£8k all-in. The patch keeps it under a grand.
Will it hold long-term?
Yes. The cured resin liner is structurally bonded to the host pipe and rated for 50+ years. We give a 10-year materials warranty on the patch itself.
Can you patch any drain?
Patching works for cracks, displaced joints and small voids. Full collapses, severe deformation or back-falls need excavation. The CCTV survey tells us which on day one.
