Drains fail slowly and then suddenly. A hairline crack lets in roots, a joint settles a few millimetres, and a line that worked for decades starts blocking every winter. The fix does not have to mean digging a trench through your garden or drive.

The farms and cottages along the Edge and in the vales either side are predominantly off-mains, with a typical Shropshire mix of ageing septic tanks and newer treatment plants. Properties on the Edge itself often have constrained plots on sloping, stony ground.

Where the pipe is structurally sound enough, we repair drains from the inside by relining: a resin-impregnated liner is inserted into the pipe and cured in place, creating a new, jointless pipe within the old one. Localised damage can often be fixed with a patch liner over just the defective section. No-dig repairs mean no ruined lawns, no broken driveways, and usually a single day of work.

Buying or selling around Much Wenlock

Much Wenlock’s charm keeps demand for period stone property high, and many sales involve older houses with equally old drainage. Pre-purchase inspections are particularly valuable on the limestone, where system faults have consequences that standard surveys do not look for.

Access and practicalities around Much Wenlock

The lanes along and over the Edge are steep, wooded and narrow, and some Edge-side properties test a tanker’s reach. It is nothing local planning cannot solve, and we build the access plan into every quote.

Drain Repairs & Relining: common questions

How long does relining last?

A properly installed cured-in-place liner is a structural repair with a design life of decades, comparable to new pipework.

Will you need to dig up my drive?

Usually not. Liners are installed through existing access points such as manholes and rodding eyes. Excavation is reserved for collapsed or badly deformed sections that a liner cannot fix.

How disruptive is the work?

Most domestic relining jobs are completed in a day, and you can normally use your drains again the same evening once the liner has cured.
