Drain Relining
Cost-effective drain relining services in Farnham. Repair cracked and leaking pipes without the need for excavation.
When your drainage system suffers from extensive damage, multiple cracks, or severe root intrusion, localized patches aren't enough. Drain relining is the ultimate trenchless repair technology, allowing us to install a brand-new pipe inside your existing damaged one. Clever Works provides expert drain relining services throughout Farnham and Surrey, saving your property from the chaos and expense of deep excavation.
A failing drainage system can lead to subsidence, dampness, and recurring blockages. Our Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) relining process restores the complete structural integrity of your drains quickly and cleanly. It is the smartest, most efficient way to future-proof your property's underground infrastructure.
What is Drain Relining?
Drain relining involves creating a "pipe within a pipe." We saturate a flexible, felt-like liner with a powerful epoxy resin. Using specialized equipment, we invert or pull this liner through the entire length of the damaged drain. Once in position, we inflate the liner using air or water pressure, forcing it tightly against the walls of the old pipe. As the resin cures and hardens, it forms a seamless, watertight, and structurally robust new pipe that seals all cracks, covers displaced joints, and permanently locks out tree roots.

What to Expect: Our Process
- Comprehensive Survey: A full CCTV drainage survey maps the pipework and identifies all defects.
- High-Pressure Cleaning: We descale and clean the host pipe using high-pressure water jetting, removing any roots or debris.
- Liner Installation: The resin-impregnated liner is inserted and inflated.
- Curing & Reopening: After curing, we use robotic cutters to reopen any lateral connections (branch pipes) that were covered by the liner. A final CCTV survey confirms the flawless finish. Most domestic relining is completed in a single day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does drain relining last?
A correctly installed CIPP liner has a design life of 50 years, providing a long-term, structural solution.
Can you reline a pipe with bends?
Yes, our flexible liners are designed to navigate standard bends and sweeps in the drainage system without wrinkling or failing.
What if other pipes join into the one being relined?
We use specialized robotic cutting tools to precisely cut out the liner at the junction, restoring flow from the connecting branch pipes.
Does relining reduce the pipe diameter?
Only by a few millimeters. The new surface is so smooth that the flow rate is often improved despite the marginal reduction in diameter.
