Drain lining, relining and 'no-dig' drain repair costs

If your drain is cracked, leaking or slowly collapsing, you don’t always need a full excavation.

There’s a smarter, less disruptive option: no-dig drain repair, sometimes called structural lining or relining.

⚙️ What is Structural Lining?

Instead of digging up the pipe, we:

   •   Insert a resin-saturated liner into the damaged drain.

   •   Inflate it with air or water.

   •   Let it cure so the liner itself becomes a new permanent pipe inside your old one.

   •   The result? Less digging, less mess, and fewer future issues.

💷 How Much Does This Cost?

At ASL we use this as a guide:

“Drain relining can start at £70 per linear metre, depending on access, pipe condition and location.”

So yes — very competitive compared to full trench digs. But remember: price varies if the pipe is under a building, very deep, or heavily root-infested.

✅ Why This Method Makes Sense

   •   Minimal disruption — driveways and gardens stay intact.

   •   Faster turnaround — often a same-day job.

   •   Fewer joins or weak spots → less likelihood of roots or collapse.

   •   Saves thousands in many cases over full replacement.

🔍 Signs You Need It

If your CCTV survey shows:

   •   Cracks or drops in the pipe

   •   Tree root ingress

   •   Water infiltration from soil or surface water

   •   Sunk ground around your pipe route

Then no-dig relining is likely your best option.
