What are Pitch Fibre Drain Repairs?

Pitch fibre pipes were commonly installed in UK drainage systems between the 1950s and 1970s. Over time these pipes can deform, blister, or collapse due to age and soil pressure. Our pitch fibre repair solutions restore damaged pipes using modern trenchless techniques such as pipe reforming and drain re-lining — avoiding major excavation.

Pipe Strength Restoration

Structural liners reinforce weakened pitch fibre pipes and restore long-term stability.

No Major Excavation

Most pitch fibre drain repairs are completed without digging up gardens or driveways.

Cost Effective Repair

Repairing pitch fibre pipes is usually far cheaper than replacing the entire drainage system.

CCTV Drain Surveys

Advanced camera inspections detect blistering, deformation and collapsed pipe sections.

Fast Repairs

Many pitch fibre repairs can be completed within one working day.

Guaranteed Work

All pitch fibre drain repairs include warranty-backed workmanship.

Our Pitch Fibre Repair Process

1

CCTV Drain Inspection

We inspect the pipe using CCTV cameras to identify deformation, blistering or root ingress.

2

Drain Cleaning

High-pressure water jetting removes debris and prepares the pipe for repair.

3

Pipe Reforming

Specialist equipment reshapes deformed pitch fibre pipes closer to their original circular form.

4

Drain Re-Lining

A resin-impregnated liner is installed inside the pipe to create a strong new internal structure.

5

Lateral Reinstatement

Robotic cutters reopen branch connections so all drains function correctly.

6

Final CCTV Survey

A final inspection confirms proper flow and the success of the repair.
