Not every drain problem requires excavation. When a CCTV survey reveals a localised crack, fracture or defective joint, patch lining offers a fast, effective repair without the cost and disruption of digging up your garden, driveway or floor.
Drain Local carry out patch lining repairs across Yorkshire using high-quality resin liners that bond to the pipe wall and cure in place. The result is a smooth, sealed repair that restores the structural integrity of the pipe.
Patch lining is particularly useful for older clay and concrete pipes that have developed isolated defects over time. It's a cost-effective alternative to full pipe replacement and can significantly extend the working life of your drainage system.

Common questions
What is patch lining?
Patch lining is a no-dig repair technique where a short section of resin-impregnated liner is inserted into the pipe and cured in place, sealing a localised crack, fracture or defective joint from the inside.
When is patch lining used instead of full relining?
Patch lining is ideal when the damage is confined to a specific section of pipe. Full relining is used when there are defects along a longer run. A CCTV survey helps us determine which approach is right.
Does patch lining require excavation?
No — that's the key advantage. The repair is carried out entirely from inside the pipe, avoiding the cost and disruption of digging up your garden, driveway or floor.
How long does a patch lining repair last?
When correctly installed, patch lining repairs are durable and long-lasting. The resin liner bonds to the pipe wall and creates a smooth, sealed surface that resists future root intrusion and corrosion.
How do I know if patch lining is right for my drain?
A CCTV survey will show us exactly where the defect is and how extensive it is. We'll then recommend the most appropriate repair method and explain the options before any work begins.
