No-dig technology
See the defect. Skip the dig.
Camera first, resin second — every visit starts with a CCTV survey so we only excavate when relining genuinely won't hold.
CCTV drain survey
A push-rod or crawler camera maps the exact defect and its position before any repair method is chosen.

CIPP relining
A resin liner cured in place restores a cracked or displaced pipe from the inside, without lifting the ground above it.
Learn more
Root cutting
A mechanical cutter clears root ingress and restores flow without removing the section of pipe the roots grew into.

Manhole repair
Chamber and cover repairs handled in place wherever the structure allows, instead of a default full rebuild.
Learn moreWhat stays undisturbed
Everything above the pipe stays exactly as it was
A resin liner cures inside the existing pipe, so the ground above it never has to come up.
Your driveway
Block paving, tarmac or gravel — the liner cures inside the pipe underneath, so the surface above never gets lifted.
Your garden
Lawns, borders and mature planting stay rooted. No trench means no reinstatement bill for the beds you've spent years growing.
Your patio
Slabs stay bedded and pointed exactly as laid. The whole relining job happens through the existing access points.
Only the cover lifts
The single thing that comes up is the manhole cover itself — everything else on the property stays exactly where it was.
Why choose us
Built for the fix that doesn't need a spade
Clear pricing before we travel, a CCTV survey before any repair, and no-dig considered first on every job.
Survey before you dig
Every relining or root-cutting job starts with a CCTV pass so we know the exact defect before deciding how to fix it.
No-dig first, always considered
CIPP relining and root cutting handle the majority of collapsed, cracked or root-affected drains without lifting a paving slab.
Excavation as the last resort
When a pipe is genuinely beyond relining, we say so and quote the dig honestly, rather than defaulting to it.
Paperwork that earns its keep
Every survey can produce a report with footage, distances and defect codes.
No spade required
The ground above stays exactly as you left it
Documentation
CCTV reports that back up a no-dig decision
A relining recommendation is only as good as the survey behind it. We document the defect, its position and the condition of the pipe before quoting the fix.
CCTV drain surveyBefore we arrive
Before your CCTV survey
Four things worth doing before the camera goes in — none of them require a plumber.
Stop using the drain
Avoid running water or flushing until the survey is done — a dry line gives the camera a clearer picture.
Clear access to the manhole
Move bins, planters or parked vehicles away from covers so we can get the camera in without delay.
Note where the problem shows
A damp patch, a slow drain, a smell — tell us where and when, it helps target the survey.
Call to book the survey
A fixed fee, agreed before we travel, gets a camera on site and a defect report in your hands.
How it works
From camera to cured liner
01
Tell us the symptoms
Postcode, property type, how the drain is behaving. We use that to quote a fixed fee for a CCTV survey.
02
Camera goes in first
We run the survey, log every defect against its position, and show you the footage.
03
No-dig fix or honest dig
You get a clear repair recommendation — relining or root cutting wherever possible, excavation only if the survey shows it's needed.

No-dig questions
No-Dig Drainage: Common Questions
Do you only do no-dig repairs?
No — no-dig is what we lead with because most cracked, displaced or root-affected drains qualify for it. When a pipe has fully collapsed or was laid with the wrong fall, we say so and quote an excavation repair instead.
How do you decide whether a pipe can be relined?
The CCTV survey. We look at the defect type, the pipe's condition and how much of the run is affected, then recommend relining, root cutting or, where genuinely needed, excavation.
How long does a CIPP liner actually take to cure?
A single-section liner is typically cured within a few hours on site, though total time depends on pipe length, access and how many sections need lining. We give a specific estimate after the survey.
Is a CCTV survey useful for buying a property?
Yes. A dated, defect-coded report with footage gives a surveyor or buyer something concrete to work from rather than a guess.
What areas of London do you cover?
All 33 Greater London boroughs. See our areas hub for local pages, or send your postcode via the contact form for an arrival window and fixed price.
What happens if the survey shows the drain needs to be dug up after all?
We tell you honestly and quote the excavation separately, with reinstatement included in the scope — no surprise once the work has started.
Do you offer a guarantee on relining?
We stand behind the workmanship on every liner we install; specific terms are confirmed in writing when we quote your job.
How do you price no-dig jobs?
The CCTV survey is a fixed fee. Relining is then priced per section once the survey confirms scope. See the pricing page for the current structure.
