What collapsed drain repair costs
Priced on what we find, agreed before we start
What moves the number is how much of the pipe has failed, how deep it sits, how easy it is to reach, and whether it can be lined from the inside or has to be dug out. That is why no figure sits on this page: it would be a guess about your drain. For most jobs, call us and we will give you the price, or our labour rate, before we set off.

What people worry about, answered straight
Answered here, so nobody has to ask when we arrive.
Will you dig up my garden or drive?
Not if the drain allows it. Most cracked or leaking drains can be lined from the inside, so nothing gets dug up. Where a section has fully caved in, we explain the dig, and what it involves, before it starts.
Will the bill be bigger at the end?
The price we agree before we start is the price you pay, unless you approve extra work. If we find something more, we tell you what it is and what it costs first. Nothing extra happens without your say-so.
What if something gets damaged while you work?
We are insured, with public liability cover up to £1 million, and we are members of the NADC. If a repair means opening something up, we explain that first.
Collapsed drain repair: questions we get asked
The questions people ask before they ring, answered here.
How much does collapsed drain repair cost?
There is no call-out fee, and for most jobs we can give you the price, or our labour rate, before we set off. What moves it is how much of the pipe has failed, how deep it is, how easy it is to reach, and whether it can be lined from the inside or has to be dug out. We do not publish prices, because a figure that ignores your drain would be a guess.

Can you repair a collapsed drain under a house in Dorset?
Yes. We survey it first, so we know what has failed before anything is opened up. Where the drain allows, it can be lined from the inside, so the floor stays where it is. Where a section has caved in, we explain what has to be dug out and what it will cost before that happens.

What if you find more work once you start?
We tell you what it is and what it costs first. Nothing extra happens without your say-so, and you choose whether it is done now or booked in.

The straight answer first
What collapsed drain repair involves, and what it costs you first
A collapsed drain often shows itself sideways: a sunken patch of lawn, a damp smell, a toilet that keeps backing up, or a survey that says the pipe has failed. Before the diagnosis, the money. For most jobs we can give you the price, or our labour rate, before we set off. The price we agree before we start is the price you pay, unless you approve extra work. Based in Ringwood, we work across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, find the cause on site, and explain it before you decide anything.
- Cause found on site, explained before any work is agreed
- Fix it now or book it in: you choose
- A camera survey only where it is needed, agreed and priced first
A survey shows what has failed before any repair is pricedWhat you can see, and what it may mean
The signs people ring about, and what we look at before recommending anything.
A sunken patch of lawn or drive over the drain run
What it actually isSoil can wash into a broken pipe and leave a void above it. It can also be something else, so we look before we say.
What it needsA camera survey shows whether the pipe has failed. Whether that means lining or a dig, we explain it and price it first.
A drain or toilet that keeps backing up
What it actually isA blockage that keeps coming back can point to damage in the pipe itself, such as a cracked, displaced or collapsed section catching debris.
What it needsWe clear it, then survey where needed and agreed first. If there is no fault behind it, that is the end of it.
A damp patch or a smell near the drain run
What it actually isA cracked or broken pipe can leak into the ground. A smell can also have a simpler source, so we trace it rather than assume.
What it needsWe find where it is coming from first. A small fault is repaired as a small job, and we say so.
Damp or a smell where a drain runs under the house
What it actually isA fault in a drain beneath the floor is hard to judge by eye, and the camera shows what is actually there.
What it needsWhere the drain allows, lining from the inside means the floor stays where it is. Where it does not, we explain what has to be opened up first.
Not sure which one is yours? Call us and we will talk it through.
Lining or digging: the honest difference
Lining is not always the answer: it needs a pipe that is still there to line, and where a section has caved in, digging it out and replacing it is the recommendation we will give you.
| Lining from the inside | Excavation and pipe replacement | |
|---|---|---|
| Best when the pipe is | Cracked or out of line, but still in place | Caved in, or too far gone to line |
| Digging up the garden or drive | Most cracked or leaking drains: nothing dug up | Some digging, explained before it starts |
| Who decides, and on what | You, once we have explained what we found on site | You, once we have explained what we found on site, and what it costs |

How we decide between lining and digging
A collapse is rarely a single event. Older pipes can crack, shift at the joints or lose their shape over time, until part of the pipe caves in. For collapsed drain pipe repair in Dorset, the first step is finding out what has actually failed and how much of the pipe is affected, not sending in a digger.
Where a pipe is cracked, leaking or out of line but still in place, it can often be repaired from the inside: patch lining for a short damaged section, CIPP lining for a longer run. Where a section has caved in, the honest repair is excavation and pipe replacement, and we say so rather than lining something that will not hold.
A camera survey shows where the fault sits, which matters when you are working out whether it is yours to put right or someone else's. If we survey it, the footage, photos and a written report come to you, so you can show them to anyone who needs to see them. To repair a collapsed drain under a house in Dorset, that survey is the starting point, because it shows what is there before anything is opened up.
We are based in Ringwood and work across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, with twenty years in drainage between us and EUSR-carded engineers. Ring for a price or our labour rate before we set off, or send the form.
