Fast, reliable and competitive drain repairs and installations

A1 UK Drains Ltd offer fast, reliable and competitive drain installation and repair services for both domestic and commercial customers. We are based in Finchampstead, near Wokingham in Berkshire but our team of engineers carry out drainage works  across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Oxfordshire, Hampshire and Greater London.

If you are experiencing problems with an existing drain or drains, such as repeat blockages, blockages that can’t be shifted or maybe just bad smells please get in touch. One of our engineers will discuss the issues and arrange for a site visit to survey to determine the cause and best remedy. In most circumstances there is no charge for this site visit. You will then receive your non-obligation quote.

As well as repairing existing drain systems we install brand new systems for extensions, houses, offices and commercial premises such as offices & factories, hospitals and schools to name a few.

For domestic properties occupied by senior citizens we offer a 10% seniors discount.

Why Do Drains Fail?

Sometimes the cause of a blockage can be due to a major failure in the drain system such as a collapsed drain. In this instance there is really no choice other than to carry out repairs or install entire sections. In most cases we will be able to reveal the cause and location of the problem by using our CCTV survey cameras. A CCTV survey alone though can’t always highlight the extent of a problem, as issues could be present well beyond the initial problem encountered.

When we have located the first sign of trouble, if it is not a manhole, we will excavate to reveal the existing pipework and break into it. We will then be able to survey the pipe onwards to check for any issues further down the line. Hopefully the damaged section of pipe is localised to just the area identified allowing us to remove the damaged section quickly and install new pipework and connections.

 

It maybe that the cause of the problem isn’t a drain that has collapsed but one that has been infiltrated by roots at a manhole, a join in the pipe or by forcing its way in by cracking the pipework. Where roots have forced themselves into the system and caused damage some form of repair to the drain system is inevitable.

There are often warning signs of an impending problem in advance of a drain failing. Signs of a major failure in your drainage system could be bad smells, blockages and sewage backups that can’t be shifted, damp patches or overflowing manholes. Leaking or blocked drains can cause major problems for your home or business and are best addressed at the first sign of trouble rather than when catastrophe strikes to minimise damage, disruption and inconvenience.

Depending on the cause of the drain failure, we are able to offer a range of solutions including a lining that removes the need to excavate the drain. 

Drain Lining Repairs

When old drains crack or joints open up as a result of ground movement or water infiltration, the only solution in years gone by was to excavate the defective section of pipe and replace it. However, using drain lining techniques, it is often possible to repair defective sections of pipe by lining them without having to carry out any disruptive excavations.

Patch lining is used to repair small holes and cracks in pipes as well as defective joints which, if left, can eventually lead to a drain’s complete collapse due to water washing away the soil surrounding the drain.

Structural repairs lining is used where the defective area of pipe is more extensive. The lining is impregnated with polyester resin and inserted into the drain before water or air pressure is used to inflate the lining inside the pipe. It then sets hard to create a seal round the defective parts of the pipe and prevent further leaks.
