What Is Drain Relining

Drain relining is a structural repair method used to restore the integrity of a damaged pipe without excavation.

A resin-impregnated liner is installed inside the existing pipe and cured in place, forming a new structural layer within the host pipe.

When properly specified, this creates:

Structural reinforcement

Long-term stability

Improved internal integrity

Minimal disruption to property

Drain relining is not a temporary fix. When used appropriately it is a structural rehabilitation method.

When Should Drain Relining Be Used?

Relining is typically suitable for:

It is often ideal where:

However, relining is not suitable for every situation.

Every project begins with a fully coded CCTV inspection to assess structural viability.

Patch Lining vs Full Length Relining

Patch Lining is used for isolated defects in the pipe, such as single fractures, localised joint failures and short damaged sections, reinforcing only the affected area.

Full length relining is recommended when multiple defects are present, long term structural rehabilitation is required, in pipes showing progressive deterioration and when a consistent internal structural layer is needed. Full length lining restores structural integrity along the entire run of the pipe.

The decision between the use of patch and full relining is based on:

We specify based on evidence — not preference.

Our Drain Relining Process

This is our simple, structured process:

Structured CCTV Survey

High-definition inspection, coded to MSCC5 standards.

Structural Assessment

We determine viability, liner thickness requirements and long-term performance suitability.

Clear Specification

You receive a written explanation of recommended repair method.

Professional Installation

Carried out by experienced technicians using appropriate materials and curing processes.

Post-Installation Confirmation

Final inspection to confirm structural integrity and completion.

Clear process. Clear accountability.

Why Proper Specification Matters

Relining installed without correct assessment can fail for a number of reasons:

Structural relining requires judgement and experience.

We combine:

That combination protects the integrity of the repair.

Commercial & Domestic Drain Relining Capability

We undertake relining projects for:

Relining often allows commercial premises to remain operational with minimal disruption while work is carried out.

Structural Integrity & Longevity

When properly installed, structural relining:

It is frequently the most intelligent long-term solution — where structurally appropriate.

We restore pipes. We don’t mask problems.

Our Experts Explain Common Misconceptions About Drain Relining:

When installed without proper preparation or structural assessment, it can be!

When specified correctly — following a fully coded CCTV inspection — relining becomes a structural rehabilitation method.

The difference lies in investigation and judgement.

Installing a liner is one thing.

Specifying the correct solution is another.

Relining requires:

Without these steps, performance is compromised.

Not every pipe is suitable.

Severely collapsed or structurally unstable sections may require excavation instead.

We assess structural viability before recommending lining.

If it isn’t appropriate, we say so.

When correctly specified, liner thickness is proportionate to pipe diameter.

Proper installation does not compromise flow performance.

Incorrect specification can.

Again — judgement matters.

Excavation has its place.

However, in many cases — especially beneath driveways, landscaped areas, listed properties or commercial floors — structural relining is the more intelligent solution.

It restores integrity with minimal disruption and downtime.

Drain relining is a specialist discipline.

When approached with evidence, standards and experience, it provides long-term structural stability.

When approached casually, it becomes a risk.

Roman Rod Cotswolds approaches it properly.

Many of our reviews mention our CCTV surveys by name - and the peace of mind they bring.

Clare T.Bath
Sam came round and carried out a CCTV survey before we bought our house — turns out the manhole was buried! Without them we’d never have known.
Jack R.Chippenham
Quick, clean and professional. Got video and report the same day.
