Patch Lining Benefits

Repair damaged drains without replacing the entire pipe.

Patch lining is a fast, cost-effective no-dig repair technique that restores isolated sections of damaged pipework from within. By repairing only the affected area, disruption, excavation and downtime are kept to an absolute minimum while extending the life of your drainage system.

Targeted drain patch lining repair

Targeted Repairs

Patch lining repairs only the damaged section of the pipe rather than replacing the entire drainage run. It is ideal for localised cracks, displaced joints, root ingress and small structural defects.

No dig patch lining installation

No-Dig Technology

Installed from existing access points, patch lining eliminates the need for disruptive excavation. This makes it an excellent solution for roads, driveways, landscaped areas and commercial premises.

How Patch Lining Works

Our professional patch lining process.

AJS Environmental follows a careful process to inspect the defect, prepare the pipe and install a targeted internal repair with minimal disruption.

1

CCTV Inspection

We inspect the drainage system to locate the damaged section and confirm whether patch lining is suitable.

2

Pipe Preparation

The pipe is cleaned and prepared so the liner can bond correctly to the damaged section.

3

Liner Installation

A resin-impregnated patch is positioned inside the pipe at the damaged area and cured in place.

4

Final Check

The repair is checked to confirm the patch has been installed correctly and the pipe is restored.

Patch lining avoids unnecessary excavation.

Where suitable, a localised drain defect can be repaired internally without digging up driveways, roads, landscaped areas or commercial premises.
