Semtex Trenchless Solutions is a specialist pipe relining division of Semtex, focused on modern trenchless technology for residential, commercial, civil and infrastructure clients. We inspect, clear, repair and renew pipelines with minimal disruption, helping clients avoid unnecessary excavation where possible.

Trenchless pipe relining is a no-dig repair method that restores damaged pipes from the inside. Instead of digging up the full pipeline, a new liner is installed within the existing pipe to create a strong, durable new pipe structure.

Pipe relining can be suitable for a range of sewer, stormwater, drainage and pressure pipe systems. Suitability depends on the pipe condition, access points, pipe size and the type of damage, which is why we usually recommend a CCTV inspection first.

Yes. We work with homeowners, property managers, businesses, councils, contractors and civil clients. Whether it is a blocked household drain, a damaged commercial pipeline or a larger infrastructure issue, our team can assess the problem and recommend the right solution.

The process usually starts with a CCTV pipe inspection to locate and assess the issue. The pipe is then cleaned and prepared before the correct relining method is selected. Once the liner is installed and cured, we complete final checks to confirm the pipe has been repaired properly.

A CCTV pipe inspection uses specialist camera equipment to look inside your pipes without digging. It helps identify blockages, cracks, tree root intrusion, collapsed sections, joint issues and other pipe defects so we can recommend the most accurate repair method.

Robotic cutting is used when there are obstructions, protruding connections, roots, excess liner, concrete, debris or other issues inside the pipe that need to be removed with precision. It is also used to reinstate junctions after relining work.

CIPP stands for Cured-In-Place Pipe. It is a trenchless relining method where a resin-filled liner is installed inside the existing pipe and cured to form a strong new pipe within the old one. It is commonly used for repairing cracked, leaking or damaged pipelines.

Pressure pipe relining is used for pipe systems that operate under pressure, such as certain water or industrial pipe networks. These repairs require specialist materials, preparation and installation methods to suit the pressure demands of the system.

SIPP stands for Spray-In-Place Pipe lining. This method involves applying a protective lining system to the inside of the existing pipe or structure. It can be a useful option for certain pipe repairs, protective coatings and rehabilitation projects.

TopHat junction repairs are used to seal and strengthen the connection between a main pipe and a lateral branch line. This is often important where junctions are leaking, damaged or vulnerable to root intrusion.

Yes. We provide manhole inspections and manhole rehabilitation services. This can include assessing structural condition, leaks, corrosion, surface damage and deterioration, then applying the right rehabilitation solution to improve performance and extend service life.

In most cases, trenchless relining significantly reduces the need for excavation. This means less disruption to driveways, gardens, buildings, traffic areas and daily operations compared with traditional dig-and-replace methods.

The best way to know is through a CCTV inspection and professional assessment. Some pipes are ideal for relining, while others may need cleaning, cutting, sectional repairs or replacement depending on the condition and severity of the damage.

We combine Semtex’s trusted experience in plumbing, drainage, civil and maintenance work with specialist trenchless technology. Our team focuses on accurate inspections, practical advice, minimal disruption and long-lasting pipeline solutions for both residential and commercial clients.
