Professional Drainage Pipe Replacement
Drainage pipes — like all building components — have a finite lifespan, and pipes installed in decades past can reach the point where repair is no longer a practical or cost-effective option. Collapsed sections, root ingress, significant cracking, pitch fibre pipe deformation and joint failures are all conditions that typically require pipe replacement rather than patching or lining.
Sherborne Utilities carries out drainage pipe replacement for domestic and commercial properties across Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Devon. We replace underground drainage pipes including foul drains, surface water drains and combined systems, as well as above-ground soil and drainage pipes where required.
Before any replacement works, we carry out a CCTV drain survey to confirm the condition of the drainage, identify all sections requiring replacement, and ensure that the specification for the new pipework is appropriate for the drainage system as a whole. This informed approach avoids over-specification and ensures that all problem areas are addressed in a single programme of work.
New drainage pipes are installed using modern uPVC or vitrified clay pipe systems, correctly bedded, laid to gradient and jointed in accordance with current Building Regulations and drainage standards. All replacement works are backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Our Drainage Replacement Process
Survey-led, specification-driven drainage replacement — from assessment to final reinstatement.
CCTV Survey
We carry out a CCTV drain survey to confirm the condition and extent of the failed drainage, identify the precise sections requiring replacement, and plan the works accordingly.
Specification
Based on the survey findings, we specify the appropriate replacement pipe material, diameter and jointing system, and plan the excavation and installation approach.
Excavation & Replacement
We excavate the affected area, remove the failed pipe and install the new drainage system with correct bedding, laying, jointing and backfill to established standards.
