Drain Excavation & Pipe Replacement
Excavation and replacement for collapsed, crushed and badly deformed drains that cannot be repaired from the inside.
Call 07427 195142 — 24/7When a drain has collapsed, lining will not hold. We excavate precisely where the defect is, replace the failed section and reinstate the surface properly.
Accurate location beforehand is what keeps an excavation small — we dig to a marked point, not on a hunch.

FAQs
How long does an excavation repair take?
Most domestic repairs are completed in one to two days including reinstatement, depending on depth and access.
Will my driveway be left as it was?
We reinstate the surface we lift. On decorative finishes we will discuss the finish with you beforehand.
Could a liner be used instead?
Often, yes. We only recommend excavation when CCTV shows the pipe cannot support a liner.
