Sewer Pipe Relining in Newington

Why Newington keeps us busy

Every working week we are somewhere in Newington, often within a short walk of the Royal Commonwealth Pool and Holyrood Park. The building stock here has its own character, and the ground beneath it has its own habits. Knowing both is the difference between a fix that lasts and a repair you have to revisit.

Newington's solid four-storey tenements run up to the edge of Arthur's Seat. The basalt geology gives most foundations good bearing, but localised pockets of glacial till still cause differential settlement on rear extensions.

Sewer Pipe Relining done properly

A CCTV survey has flagged root ingress, a fracture or a partial collapse, and the pipe runs under a finished floor or a stone-paved garden. Excavation means lifting flagstones, cutting through screed, disposing of contaminated spoil, then reinstating everything. Costs run away quickly, and the property is out of action for days.

Reline it. A resin-soaked liner is inverted into the host pipe, cured in place under pressure, and trimmed at each end. The pipe is back in service the same day, with a smooth bore and no joints for roots to find.

Three things Newington owners get from us

• Local context. We know which streets in Newington sit on made ground, which ones drain badly, and which ones have a tree problem. The first visit reflects that.
• Engineer-signed work. Every scheme we put in is signed off by a chartered structural engineer before any tools come out of the van.
• Reports your insurer recognises. Cause, scheme, photographs, costs. The format the loss adjusters in this city already know.
