Pitch Fibre Pipe Repair in Woking , Surrey

If your drains block frequently despite being cleared, it is a classic sign of pitch fibre delamination. You might also notice the ground sinking slightly above the run of the pipe or persistent damp odours inside the house. Because the internal surface of the pipe becomes "bubbly" or blistered, it catches toilet paper and waste, causing a backup. A CCTV survey is the only way to confirm this without digging.

Most can be saved if we catch the problem before the pipe has completely flattened. We use re-rounding tools to restore the shape of the pipe before installing a structural liner. However, if the pipe has suffered a total structural collapse where the walls have met in the middle, a localised excavation might be necessary to replace that specific section. We always aim for the least intrusive method first.

Yes, the resin-impregnated liners we use are incredibly durable. Once the resin cures, it forms a hard, structural pipe-within-a-pipe that is often stronger than the original pitch fibre. It also has no joints, which means there are no gaps for tree roots to exploit in the future. It is a proven technology used widely across Berkshire and the UK for long-term sewer renovation.

Most no-dig repairs, including re-rounding and lining, can be completed in a single day. This is much faster than traditional excavation, which can take several days and requires making good the surface afterwards. Because we operate 24/7 from our Slough base, we can often schedule these repairs at a time that causes the least disruption to your home or business.

This depends on your specific policy. Many insurers cover "accidental damage" to underground services.

We can provide the high-quality CCTV footage and technical reports required by insurance companies to help support your claim.
