Sewer Pipe Relining in Trinity
Digging up a sound floor or paved garden to repair a metre of broken clay pipe is rarely the right answer. Cured-in-place lining slides a resin-impregnated sleeve through the existing pipe and forms a new pipe inside it. The Edinburgh streets we work on every week mean we have refined the approach for narrow access and old salt-glazed runs. Trinity's seaside villas were built on a mix of stiff boulder clay and softer marine deposits towards the shore. Buildings nearer the harbour edge are most exposed to ground-moisture changes from the Forth.
Why Trinity keeps us busy
Every working week we are somewhere in Trinity, often within a short walk of Trinity Crescent and Newhaven Harbour. 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.

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 Trinity owners get from us
- Local context. We know which streets in Trinity 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.
