Advanced UV-CIPP Sewer Rehabilitation for Commercial & Infrastructure Projects
Drainage systems are a critical part of any commercial property, industrial site or public infrastructure. When pipelines begin to deteriorate, traditional excavation can be disruptive, expensive and time consuming. UV Drain Lining provides a modern, trenchless alternative that restores the structural integrity of existing pipelines without the need for extensive excavation.
​
As we continue investing in specialist rehabilitation equipment and manufacturer-led training, we are expanding our capabilities to deliver advanced trenchless drainage solutions across South Wales, the South West, the West Midlands, the Midlands and North Wales for commercial, industrial and infrastructure clients.
What Is UV Drain Lining?
UV Drain Lining is a trenchless rehabilitation technique used to structurally repair damaged drains, sewers and pipelines from within the existing pipe.
​
Rather than excavating and replacing the pipe, a glass fibre reinforced liner is inserted into the host pipe before being cured using ultraviolet light. Once cured, the liner forms a new structural pipe inside the existing pipeline, extending its service life while restoring strength and hydraulic performance.
​
The result is a durable repair completed with significantly less disruption than traditional excavation.
​
This approach is particularly effective where excavation would be costly, impractical or disruptive, including beneath roads, industrial facilities, commercial premises, rail infrastructure and public spaces.
​
Why Choose UV-CIPP Instead Of Traditional Drain Repairs?
​
Not every drainage issue requires excavation.
Modern trenchless rehabilitation techniques allow pipelines to be restored while leaving surrounding infrastructure largely untouched. Compared to traditional repair methods, UV-CIPP offers several significant advantages.
​
Minimal Disruption
Businesses can often continue operating while rehabilitation work is carried out, reducing downtime and disruption to customers, staff and neighbouring properties.
​
Faster Installation
Unlike conventional lining methods that rely on ambient, hot water or steam curing, UV curing provides a highly controlled installation process, allowing projects to be completed more efficiently.
​
Structural Rehabilitation
UV lining doesn’t simply seal leaks. It creates a new structural liner within the existing pipeline, restoring strength and improving long-term performance.
​
Reduced Excavation
By avoiding unnecessary excavation, clients benefit from reduced reinstatement costs, shorter project programmes and a lower environmental impact.
​
Long-Term Asset Protection
Extending the life of existing drainage assets helps organisations protect infrastructure investments while avoiding the costs associated with full pipe replacement.
​
Where Is UV Drain Lining Used?
UV Drain Lining is suitable for a wide variety of commercial and infrastructure environments where maintaining operational continuity is essential.
Our services are ideal for:
-
Commercial developments
-
Industrial facilities
-
Local authority infrastructure
-
Highway drainage networks
-

Stormwater and surface water systems
Every project begins with a detailed assessment to determine whether UV lining is the most suitable rehabilitation method or whether another trenchless solution would provide greater long-term value.
OUR COMMERCIAL NO DIG SERVICES
Advanced UV-CIPP Technology
At Arch Services, we continue investing in specialist rehabilitation technology to provide our clients with efficient, high-quality trenchless solutions.
Our UV lining capabilities utilise advanced glass fibre reinforced lining systems designed for a wide range of drainage environments, from municipal sewer networks through to demanding industrial applications.
Different liner systems are available depending on the operational environment, including solutions developed for standard sewer rehabilitation, environmentally sensitive locations and industrial pipelines exposed to more challenging operating conditions.
Combined with specialist installation techniques and manufacturer training, this enables us to deliver reliable rehabilitation solutions tailored to each project’s specific requirements.
Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach, every installation is selected based on the condition of the existing asset, operational requirements and long-term performance objectives.
​
Our UV Drain Lining Process
Every rehabilitation project follows a structured process designed to maximise quality, efficiency and long-term performance.
​
1. CCTV Drain Survey
The existing pipeline is inspected to identify defects, confirm dimensions and assess suitability for UV rehabilitation.
​
2. Pipe Cleaning
The pipeline is thoroughly cleaned to remove debris, roots, scale and other obstructions that could affect installation.
​
3. Robotic Cutting (Where Required)
Specialist robotic cutting equipment removes protrusions, reinstates laterals and prepares the pipeline for lining where necessary.
​
4. Liner Installation
The UV liner is carefully installed within the host pipe before being positioned precisely along the rehabilitation area.
​
5. UV Curing
Ultraviolet light cures the liner in a controlled process, forming a new structural pipe within the original pipeline.
​
6. Final CCTV Inspection
A final CCTV survey confirms the quality of the installation before the asset is returned to service.
​
This systematic approach ensures every project is completed to a consistently high standard while providing clients with confidence in the finished installation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our UV Lining Service
What Is UV Drain Lining?
UV Drain Lining is a trenchless pipe rehabilitation method that repairs damaged drains and sewers by installing a glass fibre reinforced liner cured using ultraviolet light.
​
When Is UV Drain Lining Recommended?
It is commonly recommended for structurally damaged drains where excavation would be disruptive, expensive or impractical.
​
Is UV lining Suitable For Commercial Properties?
Yes. It is particularly suited to commercial premises, industrial facilities, highways, local authorities and infrastructure projects where maintaining operations is important.
​
Does UV Drain Lining Require Excavation?
In many cases, no. Most installations are completed through existing access chambers, significantly reducing disruption compared to traditional excavation.
​
How Does UV Lining Differ From Traditional CIPP Lining?
Both are trenchless rehabilitation methods, but UV-CIPP uses ultraviolet light to cure the liner in a highly controlled process, allowing for efficient installation and consistent curing.
​
Can UV Drain Lining Be Combined With Other Trenchless Services?
Yes. UV lining is often used alongside CCTV drain surveys, robotic cutting and other trenchless rehabilitation techniques to provide a complete repair solution.
