Waste Pipe Replacement

What waste pipe replacement covers

Waste pipe replacement is a targeted repair where the affected section of pipework is removed and renewed to restore proper flow. It typically includes:

• Locating the failed section and confirming the cause of the issue
• Isolating and protecting the work area to minimise disruption
• Removing damaged pipework and any unsuitable fittings
• Installing new waste pipe and joints to the correct fall and alignment
• Checking traps and connections for leaks and odour control
• Testing drainage flow and integrity before completion
• Sensible making-good advice where access panels, boxing or sealant are affected

When this service is the right fit

This service is most useful when blockages keep returning, there is staining or damp around pipe runs, or you notice persistent odours even after cleaning. It is also a good option where older plastic has become brittle, metal pipework has corroded, or previous repairs have left poor gradients that slow drainage. Landlords and small commercial sites often choose replacement to reduce repeat call-outs and tenant disruption.

How the work is carried out

The pipe run is inspected to find the precise failure point, then the best access route is agreed with you. The faulty section is removed and replaced with compatible pipework and fittings, ensuring the correct fall so wastewater drains efficiently. Finally, the system is tested for leaks and flow, and you are shown the outcome before the job is signed off.

After the replacement

You will be advised on practical steps to prevent future problems, such as what should not go down the waste, and how to spot early signs of slow drainage. If the issue suggests a wider problem, for example poor venting or a downstream restriction, you will be told what to do next and why.
