Fix The Pipe, Keep The Garden

Trenchless sewer repair (also called pipe relining or CIPP — Cured In Place Pipe) inserts a resin-impregnated liner into your existing damaged pipe. The liner inflates, hardens in place, and creates a brand-new pipe inside the old one. No digging, no mess, no reinstatement.

Modern liner systems have a 50-year design life and are fully water-tight. Most domestic relining jobs in Reading are completed in a single day — at a fraction of the cost and disruption of full excavation.
