Local knowledge
Barkingside housing, from a drainage engineer's side
Barkingside includes classic 1930s garden suburb semis and some post-war developments, typically with longer rear gardens. Drainage systems are ageing and often intersect with extensive garden landscaping, vegetable plots, and outbuildings like sheds or greenhouses. Homeowners are particularly keen to avoid destruction of these garden features.

What fails here
Common drainage problems in Barkingside
01
Drain Runs Under Cultivated Gardens
A collapse under a cherished vegetable plot or herbaceous border would be devastating. Our trenchless technology allows us to pinpoint the fault and install a structural liner through it, leaving the soil structure and planting entirely undisturbed from above.
02
Failure at Depth Under Lawns
Long drain runs to the rear of plots are often laid at significant depth under lawns. Excavating a deep, long trench would be enormously disruptive. The resin-impregnated liner is inverted or pulled through the old pipe, forming a new pipe at the existing depth with minimal excavation at the access points only.
03
Damage from Outbuilding Foundations
The weight of sheds, greenhouses, or garden studios built years after the house was constructed can stress shallow drainage pipes running beneath them. Relining reinforces the pipe in situ, mitigating the load issue without requiring the removal of the outbuilding.
04
Bellied Sections from Soil Washout
Over decades, leaking joints can wash away supporting soil, creating a 'belly' or low point where waste collects. While severe sags may require attention, our lining process can often improve flow by creating a smooth, continuous bore through the affected section, postponing or avoiding major excavation.
Three methods, one visit
High-pressure jetting
Blasts grease, silt and root growth from pipe walls without digging.
CCTV survey
A camera on rods or a crawler unit records the pipe condition end to end.
No-dig relining
A resin liner is cured inside the damaged pipe instead of excavating it.
