Drainage & External Pipe Repairs
External soil pipe, waste and rainwater pipe repairs, including leaking joints, damaged fittings, pipe replacement and blockages in difficult-to-access areas.
Overview
Drainage & External Pipe Repairs, delivered at height.
External soil stacks and rainwater pipes often run the full height of a building, frequently down a lightwell or a tight rear elevation where there is no room for access equipment.
Rope access reaches the whole run from the roof down, so a leaking joint or a blocked section can be reached at the point it has failed rather than from the nearest available platform.
The work is external and at height: soil pipe repairs to cracked or displaced joints, drainage and pipe repairs to high-level runs, and the brackets, clips and fittings that carry them. Underground drainage, internal plumbing and drain surveys sit with other trades.
