Newtown is close to the ideal case for relining. Terraces have no side access, share walls with the neighbours on both sides, and drain through earthenware that roots have been working on for a century. Excavating that line usually means going through the house or through a courtyard that cannot be put back cheaply.

Finding the fault: tree roots filling a clay sewer in Penrith, found on CCTV. That job was cleared with the jet blaster, not relined.

The same line: roots coming through a dislodged joint. Open joints like this are what a liner is designed to seal.

More roots growing into the old clay pipe, through dislodged joints and hairline cracks. The camera shows where a pipe is damaged before anyone quotes a repair.

With no side access, reaching a damaged section by digging means lifting a courtyard, a hallway floor, or both. Relining runs through existing access points and leaves all of it in place.

A liner presents a continuous surface with no joints for roots to enter. On a terrace line that has blocked repeatedly, that is the difference between an annual problem and a finished one.

Much of Newtown sits in a conservation area. Repairing from inside the pipe avoids disturbing original brickwork, tiling and paving that would be costly to reinstate.

How It Works

01

We camera your drain to assess the damage and confirm relining is the right solution.

02

We jet blast the pipe to remove roots, debris, and build-up before lining.

03

A resin-impregnated liner is inserted and inflated, then cured in place — typically within hours.

04

We camera the pipe again to confirm the lining is smooth, sealed, and flowing freely.

Common Questions

In most cases no. Relining works through existing access points, which is precisely why it suits terraces with no side path.

A properly installed liner is rated for decades and carries a structural design life well beyond the clay it is repairing. It will outlast the rest of the original line.

A camera inspection. If the pipe is cracked, has separated joints or roots entering at a joint, clearing is temporary. We show you the footage rather than asking you to take our word for it.
