Where a drain has collapsed, deformed badly or cannot be reached from an access point, it has to be dug up — but only the failed section, not the whole run. If the pipe is still sound enough to line, no-dig relining is almost always the cheaper route.
This is exactly where comparing quotes pays
Excavation starts around £1,000 per section — and putting the paving, tarmac or turf back is often quoted separately. Check what reinstatement is included before you compare totals.
Typical cost
Excavation from £1,000/section; lining the pipe instead costs less (industry guides, 2026)
