Spray Lining Services

When pipes begin to show signs of damage, corrosion, or deterioration, the traditional solution has always been excavation and replacement. But digging up floors, gardens, or roads is costly, disruptive, and time-consuming. Thankfully, modern technology offers a smarter alternative: spray lining.

At First Choice Drainage Solutions, we provide advanced spray lining services — a trenchless solution that coats the inside of damaged pipes with a seamless, corrosion-resistant liner. This creates a strong, watertight barrier inside the existing pipe, restoring its integrity and extending its lifespan without the mess of excavation. It’s a fast, efficient, and cost-effective method to keep your drainage system in top condition.

What Is Spray Lining?

Spray lining is a no-dig pipe rehabilitation technique. Instead of replacing the pipe, we use a specialist spraying machine to apply a liquid polymer coating to the internal surface. This coating cures into a tough, seamless liner that:

• Seals cracks and defects – preventing leaks and infiltration.

• Resists corrosion – protecting against rust, chemicals, and future wear.

• Improves flow – smoothing rough surfaces and eliminating obstructions.

• Adds structural strength – reinforcing the existing pipe without reducing capacity.

Spray lining is suitable for a wide range of drainage applications, from small-diameter internal stacks to larger underground drains.

Expert Preparation With Picote Technology

For spray lining to be effective, surface preparation is critical. Any debris, scale, or rust left inside the pipe will weaken adhesion and compromise the liner’s lifespan. That’s why we use our specialist Picote milling machine before applying any spray liner.

The Picote system uses high-speed rotary tools fitted with chains, brushes, or grinding heads to mechanically clean the pipe wall. This removes:

• Limescale and mineral deposits.

• Rust and corrosion.

• Hardened concrete intrusions.

• Grease, fat, and other debris.

By ensuring the pipe is completely clean and smooth, we guarantee maximum adhesion and a long-lasting, watertight finish once the spray liner is applied.

The Spray Lining Process

1. CCTV Inspection
   We start with a full camera survey to assess the condition of the pipe, measure dimensions, and plan the work.

2. Picote Cleaning & Preparation
   Using Picote milling tools, we clean and prepare the internal pipe surface to ensure the liner bonds effectively.

3. Application of Spray Liner
   Our specialist spray system coats the inside of the pipe with a liquid polymer that quickly cures into a seamless, protective lining.

4. Final CCTV Survey
   Once the liner has set, we carry out a second inspection to confirm the quality of the finish and ensure full functionality.

The result is a smooth, reinforced pipe interior that improves flow and provides long-term protection.
