One of our plumbers can come to your location to determine the most efficient way to reline your pipes quickly and economically.

What is pipe relining?

Here at Thoroughgood Professional Plumbing Service we use BRAWOLINER® technology, which is a seamless textile pipe liner with a special knitted construction, that is impregnated with silicone epoxy resin . It is highly flexible with the ability to stretch both length and widthways, and can withstand several 90° bends as well as changes in dimensions.

This is why it’s possible for us to carry out repair work throughout the complex piping networks of most property drainage systems, without having to dig large trenches to gain access.

It’s also important to note the proximity of trees to your pipework, as they have an exclusion zone around them which means you cannot dig there.

Why get your pipes relined?

If you’re sick and tired of getting your pipework cleared every 12 months.
Pipe relining is permanent, so once it’s been installed you don’t have to worry about it again, meaning you can take back a chunk of your time and money every year.

If you have a blocked drain and you don’t want to, or it’s not possible to, dig a trench to gain access.

Digging up areas of your property is of course disruptive, and can have a lot of other costs involved to restore the area back to its original state (replace tiles, paint etc). It’s also important to note the proximity of trees to your pipework, as they have an exclusion zone around them which means you cannot dig there.

What type of drain services do we offer?

How does pipe relining work?

  1. Firstly we clean the pipework with our high pressure cleaner, so we can ensure it is clear of debris and any accumulated build up.
  2. Next we send down our cameras to find and assess the damage, so we can determine the best course of action – to dig it up or reline.
  3. If relining is the way forward, we send down a tool to rough up the inside (a little like sandpaper) which ensures the material will bind to the pipe.
  4. The BRAWOLINER® is inserted into the defective pipe and put in place using an air compressor. This essentially presses the BRAWOLINER® material to the pipe so it forms a new, stronger pipe when it’s cured.
  5. The whole process takes up to 4 hours and the pipework can be used straight away.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pipe relining?

Pipe relining is a no-dig method of repairing damaged drains from the inside. We insert a liner into your pipework that essentially forms a new pipe inside the existing one, so the damage is repaired and the pipe is made stronger. It’s faster, less disruptive, and often more cost-effective than traditional pipe replacement – with no need to dig up your yard, driveway, or floors.

How does pipe relining work?

We insert a flexible liner coated with resin into your existing pipe, then inflate and cure it to create a new pipe within the old one. The liner moulds to the shape of your existing pipework, sealing cracks, breaks, and joints. Once cured, you have a seamless, jointless pipe that’s resistant to tree roots and corrosion.

How much does pipe relining cost?

A standard reline starts from $2,500, however it depends on your situation and the extent of the work. Factors affecting price include pipe diameter, length, access, and the number of junctions involved. While this may seem expensive, it’s often cheaper than traditional excavation when you factor in digging, restoration, landscaping, and time. We recommend giving us a call to discuss your specific situation.

How long does it take to reline a pipe?

The entire process typically takes up to 4 hours, and the pipework can be used instantly once complete. Compare this to traditional excavation which can take days or even weeks, leaving you without functioning drains and with a torn-up property.

How long does pipe relining last?

BRAWOLINER® comes with a 25 year warranty when installed correctly. The liner itself can last 50+ years – often outlasting the original pipe. All our staff have been fully trained in pipe relining, so you can be confident that your installation will be to the highest standard.

There is a tree near my damaged pipework, will I be able to use pipe relining to repair it?

Yes – in fact, pipe relining is often the best (and possibly the only) method in this situation. Because you don’t have to dig up any of the property, the trees will not be affected in any way. The relined pipe is also resistant to future root intrusion, solving the problem long-term.

How do I know if my pipework needs relining?

If you’re sick and tired of spending time and money getting your drains cleared every year, pipe relining is a great option as it’s a permanent solution. It’s also ideal if you have a blocked drain and it’s not possible – or you don’t want – to dig up an area of your property. We recommend getting in touch with one of our experts who can talk you through the best solution for you, starting with a CCTV drain inspection to assess the damage.
